[special]

whether there is a Russian language pack for VirtueMart_1.1.4_eCommerce_Bunde_Joomla_1.5.14 ?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

I see that some users still don't know exactly how to install the language pack... Here it is a simple screenshot guide.

Thank You!

Okay, so here it goes:
I have a dual-language site (English/German) http://www.tialea.com. I am using Joomfish for keeping the languages straight. Default language is English.

Version of Joomla is 1.5.14 and Virtuemart 1.1.4.

I extracted and uploaded the Language Pack to the com_virtuemart directory. Nothing changed, though. I am expecting that when I switch between languages, that at least the Virtuemart vocabulary is changing, but no. It still talks about 'Add to Cart', 'Categories', and 'Product Details'.

Somewhere in this thread you talk about setting the default language. Is it not possible to have two languages? What does one have to do to do so?

As for the Virtuemart fields I am completing, such as the product name etc. can those be translated using the Language Manager (similar to Joomfish) or is the Language Manager just for creating standard Virtuemart vocabularies for each language?

Are there any plans for making component elements available to Joomfish for Virtuemart or is that impossible?

Hello,

Im new in trying VirtueMart, and Im trying to install danish translation,but can't get it to work for my site and in all my settings are danish, but noting worked for me. I have install the VirtueMart languages pack in \administrator\components\com_virtuemart\language\ ... Now what to do ? Hope someone can help me!

The thing I looked for the first and, hehe the only time I didn't get this to work was that I really didn't get all the language files in the correct directories.
eg. look into one folder of let's say ~/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/common/ and see if you can see the file danish.php in there.
I'm setting one site up that also is gonna have Danish in there and as I copied the files into those directories and I changed the language in the Joomla admin, it just worked.
I use the latest bundled version.

If it still won't work I think there might be a problem with the entire installation, maybe the Joomla installation.
If this is your first installation, just remove all files and just try from the beginning, cos in my first time... DOH!!! did I do it wrong, but since it still was "internal" like for me only, I removed all files and tried again from beginning.

Louise,
here is what helped me, go to \administrator\components\com_virtuemart\languages and noticed that file with English in it, so i deleted it and bring Languages pack(you should get it from the site as well). Also should be good idea to be your language in Joomla on defolt. Hope it helps!:)

this does not work for me too...why is it so complicated to change the language?

i installed joomla 1.5.18 with german language pack. then i installed VirtueMart_1.1.4-COMPLETE_PACKAGE.j15 and overwrited the languages folder with the VirtueMart_1.1.4-COMPLETE_PACKAGE.j15. i changed the language in the joomla setting from german to english and back again...without success, vm stays in english.

what am i doing wrong??

Hi, I am trying to install a danish language package vm, but I have a problem. I put the folder with all the danish.php files, instead of the one that is already there. the problem is I don't want to change the language of the rest of joomla, because I don't know danish, but the website will be in danish. Is there any way to do this?

Right now if I only change that folder, nothing shows in vm. It shows like there are no text on the buttons, on the menus etc.

Later edit: I actually just changed the name of danish.php to english.php, and now it works perfect.

I solve my problem...

It is completely my fault.

I copy "language" dir to "components\com_virtuemart" istead "administrator\components\com_virtuemart\".

It is foolish mistake, but maybe anybody repeat it. Be more attentive!

Thank you thank you thank you!

Hello. I have some problem with russian translation.
I've installed Joomla!'s russian language both for frontend and backend and also installed language pack for VirtueMart 1.1.4. VirtueMart Language Manager and Joomla! Language Manager say that current language is russian. Though there is some untranslated part on frontend (e.g. "Login Form", "VirtueMart Manufacturers", ...). I can't understand this because there is field in administrator/language/ru-RU/ru-RU.com_modules.ini named LOGIN FORM. And it contains correct translation for "Login Form", though (as far as I can see) administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_modules.ini file used instead.

Could you help me with this?
