You add languages to the catalog/language/ folder. Then, in the admin, you need to add these languages via Admin > Config > Localization > Languages.
Then you're able to add different languages when adding/editing products.

Ok, I got you wrong there. Don't know how to add words that will translate outside the product description, etc...
Maybe you can start looking how things like box headers etc. are handled right now.

make a copy of the english one..
change the words you want
when they click the flag it will switch out the words
the LANGUAGE files are the control for that...

it sounds like you need multiple language support, which opencart provides, however to support multiple languages you need to create the language package, as well as enter all your product data in multiple languages.
i have worked with similar features on another project where its not a full language replacement, but more of an individual word replacement using one language. however, i don't quite get how this would apply in a shop.
if you need something other than multiple language support, can you supply a specific example that applies to your business so we can understand the requirement a bit better?

No I think he needs to add more words that translate 'out of the box'. Some that are not in the language files and not needed for Opencart.
xaicks:
Look at a language php file and see how different words are defined.
These get read from within the backend in this form:
Code: Select all
$language->get('button_add_to_cart'));
So if you define your own variable in the language files they should be available in any template file:
Code: Select all
<?php echo $language->get('my_own_variable')) ?>
PS: not tested that yet though!

you need to set it to the template...
part one of what you have done is good...
now part 2
file you need to edit
/catalog/controller/product.php load('controller/product.php');
add this...
$view->set('text_descr', $language->get('text_descr'));
save and you should be good to go
