Searched for a french translation extension and find only one available?....before purchasing will this translate my website from english to french, or is this only to change the admin to french in order for french people to use opencart???

More than one at http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... rch=french
One provides at the moment nine Comments but requires purchase for "Full documentation included." Another provides at the moment fourteen comments but has "Manuelle - Lire.html" presumably only with purchase. The Comments suggest caution and caveat emptor.

I'm sending PM to someone who can look at yours above and help you zero in on what you need.

Are you looking for a translator or a French version of Opencart?

Thanks.....we are using opencart to create an english Canadian website, but will need the same website to appear in french also. So I will need an extension that will convert the site to appear in french. Merci!

Ok you don't need any extension, just download the French version from opencart France, it won't overwrite your English version it will only add the French one

That's what I did, my site is bilingual if you go take a look you will see it

I will post the link to the French version, won't be long

Thank you Cleo!! Amazing, didn't realize this. Now do I just create a new folder (i.e., 'FrenchSite') within my english site (where 'upload' and 'vqmod' files are sitting) and download all the french files there?

No you don't have to create any site, just upload the files to the same place you have the vqmod and oc they are just French files so they won't overwrite any files, both English and French use the same oc files it's just the languages files that are different

But just to make sure make a backup first of your files/ocbackup/phpbackup and when you will go into you admin you will see like in category, products, etc. you will have a tab for English and one for French, just fill them both and don't forget to add the French language in Localisation

Good luck

If you are using some extension that you need the French translation just ask me and if I have them I will send them to you, I am using many so I might have one that you need. Or if you need any help for translation just ask and if I can help you it will be my pleasure.

She'll alert you if you need to pay for a commercial extension; some are free, some not.

Generally, if an extension has both vqmod file(s) and additional files for the OC tree, it will follow the OC pattern of an /upload/ directory whose entire content (not /upload/itself) is moved into the root, to add files to the tree(s). IF using a PC or Linux the existing files will not be affected (unless intended to be replaced). IF using an Apple you might well need to move the new files into place, not their otherwise empty directories.
