Hej opencart-Team,
I have a multilingual shop with PayPal as my main payment method. However, regardless of the language I am using in the shop the PayPal payment site is in German. I suspected this is because I have a German IP and that PayPal auto-detects the language. However, when I tried with a UK IP I still got the PayPal site in German. Do you know what the language of the PayPal site is based on? Would I have to add a language parameter to the PayPal URL?
Thanks & best,
Torge
Hello,
guess you are talking about PayPal Standard.
Language is based on which language is used in the shop.

Hej OSWorX,
then there seems to be a problem. I'm currently working on www.city-gardener.com and even if I use the shop in English I get the German PayPal form. Do you have any idea why this is or how to solve this? The problem is that on the PayPal site you couldn't even switch the language.
Thanks & best,

You can check the source code at the checkout after selecting PayPal (Standard) - before hitting the 'final' button.
There you should see the form fields - what is there under
PP supports most languages, e.g. en, de, fr, etc.
If you are using English it should be en
Well, one additional issue could be also.
PP is using a lot of cookies (what surprise ..).
Maybe clear them once before the next test.

Hej OSWorX,
I double-checked the behaviour of the shop and double-checked in the code --> actually the PP language is not based on the shop language but the customer country (invoice country). This should mostly be Ok I guess. Still, it is a weird behaviour.

Language is set as follows (see controller):
and the session comes comes from the language module:
Or you are using some custom extension which sets/overrides the language code ..
Code: Select all
$this->data['lc'] = $this->session->data['language'];Code: Select all
$this->session->data['language'] = $this->request->post['language_code'];Full Stack Web Developer :: Dedicated OpenCart Development & Support DACH Region
