hi, can you set different prices for a product on a multilingual site?
I make an example:
01 Betty chair :
€ 99.00 Italian language
€ 85.00 French language
€ 102.00 English language
€ 110.00 German language
yes
1. Setup more then one currency in VM config - administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&task=editshop
2. Create prices for every currency - index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=product&task=edit&virtuemart_product_id=XXXX
hi, thanks for the reply.
I created the new currency, I find myself in difficulty in the next step
You create new currency? Euro-1?
Why?
You have to create a tool ( a plugin perhaps) for this because you cannot setup currency per language i think
I'm sorry, I don't understand, don't I have to create a new currency?

I think yes
- use OPC Rupostel and setup
- use plugin from EasySoftware/Minion - change curency by language

Quotedon't I have to create a new currency?
Use existing, after install VM - all curency is defined, You have to add currency to shop config only
You can use the hidden config, pricesbyCurrency - http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/general-concepts/206-hidden-configurations.html
Hi, what exactly do you need to do thanks :-[
Kelvyn:
Thanks :)
add a line in administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg
pricesbyCurrency=1
After this, go to virtuemart>configuration and save it.
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I have a problem how to save in configuration where should I go?
After editing administrator/components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart.cfg go to the page in your image - VM Configuration and hit the green "Save" button at the top....
I have thanks, and what should I do next?
See here for setting price per currency:
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=144685.msg512630#msg512630
I would need the price to change after selecting the language on the front end, but without changing currency.
impossible as the prices are stored against the pid, shoppergroup or currency
look in the table #__virtuemart_product_prices
might be possible with fake multiple euro currencies .. then change to that euro1 or euro2 etc etc by language
But I find the whole concept of switching stuff by language daft...
I live in Belgium but speak 3 languages .. so every time I change the language on your site the chair price changes?
Won't be buying there then...
why not just have a granular shipping scheme by COUNTRY ? What has language got to do with countries now days?
you are right, however our producers want this, look at this site (I attach images)
How do I assign a currency to each language?
I answered for you before, do you read my post? :)
Quoteyou are right, however our producers want this
It isn't a developers job to just blindly follow the clients instructions... if the clients are reasonable they will take advice from other experienced parties..
Language doesn't equal country - and you risk annoying a lot of customers by doing so.
Are German speaking Austrians, Swiss, Luxembourger and Belgians meant to pay German prices?
If you install languages on the eshop:
de-AT
de-CH
de-LI
de-LU
and use the plugin to change the currency according to the language (https://www.minijoomla.org/extensions/virtuemart-extensions/language-currency-for-virtuemart), when changing the language the currency will also change automatically.
But as the GJC wrote, it's not the right way to go. (I doubt you will now create 6 new language versions of the eshop just because of the functionality you came up with).

Speak with your customer, explain a scenario to him:
Visitor of shop chooses French language but delivery address is in Austria / Germany / ... .
He is billed with € 85.00 instead of € 110.00 in case your customer wants price being enforced according frontend language.
Don't believe people are stupid and ... Google can be a beast. ;)
In case your customer sells products with something being different per language (i.e. a book in Italien language or French language or ...) this could be child products or variants.
If your customer sells downloadable products he is in trouble nevertheless at first moment because of VAT. He should use an additional service to be save.
