Title: multi language products
Post by: StompJames on June 18, 2019, 17:12:55 PM
Hello,

I am setting up a multi language site but need a little help with the best practice.

On my previous site of this kind I have setup separate products, menus and articles etc. I have since been told that VM will allow me to add different languages to one product. Is this possible? So to be clear, can I have a product that has different text for description displayed without having to make a separate product for each language.

I have professional translations so do not want it to translate, I want to enter my own text per language.

Thanks,

James

Just make a multi language installation for Joomla with the content languages activated.
Choose the languages in VM config and save it.
Now you will find a language selection inside of your product and you can save all the shop languages that you have given in Joomla and VM config.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Just need a little more help to get started.

I have some installed languages and they look to be published but I do not see the options in the products to add specific information.

I have attached a screenshot of the installed languages and the languages content screen.

Not sure what I need to do next.

Thanks,

James

In Joomla admin > Components > Virtuemart > Configuration. You can add (or remove) language.
Then you see a list of language on edit products, categories ....
