when I say bi-language, it is real two language version, including of product description, product category, etc. not only the system language.

The default is English version (BTW, how to make default USA English, instead of UK English)?

and I just installed Chinese extension, and yes, the system language can be English and Chinese now, but the menu (product Category) and Product description is still in English.

This is my website: www.silkcamel.com

my plan is to have total two different language system. such as:

For English, visitor can visit

www.silkcamel.com/English

For Chinese, visitor will see:

www.silkcamel.com/Chinese

How Can I do that? Thank you very much!

if you INSTALL a Language correctly, by use of OC Admin Section, after you downloaded (IF EXIST ?!)
this language, matching your OC-Version, from either the OC Extension Chinese Languages Section
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... ch=Chinese

or then the link below, and then uploaded that language into it's place in OC, this language will be
selectable/installable, according the OC Language installation way of doing this, in/from the Admin
Language Section.

Later, ADMIN SELECT Language Switching could also be made by
Switching between languages in the admin panel

To edit/modify 'unpleasant' words, or simply add still missing Text, Variables, whatever, you would need
a tool to help translate Opencart into multiple languages, like the
Translate Mate
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... n_id=23098

That's about all to this!
BUT BE AWARE: Whatever you will OPEN, in your Admin Section, related with TEXT, will from then on have
2 different language Specific Sections, were DATA exists, and/or has to be entered, in the individual languages,
to make it work. And by DEFAULT, if you OPEN such a File, and edit something, you cannot longer SAVE such a File,
if NOT ALL the required Fields have been filled out in order, in the second language as well. Just to mention this.

There was an Extension, avoiding that problem, but it was created for OC v.1.5.x only:
Remove Required Fields in Additional Langs

Good Luck ;)
