Title: VM2 Language fallback
Post by: osp on January 09, 2012, 12:50:01 PM
Hi,

Joomla 1.7, VM 2.0.0

MLNG support works fine, but how can I setup virtuemart to use fallback language?
We have thousands of products in some language and we want to translate them incrementally.
But switching frontend to another language causes products and categoies without translation to not show up.

Any suggestions?

Thx Ondra

As an intermediate solution you could for example copy your primary language _virtuemart_product table into your secondary language product table. The disadvantage of this is, that when a customer clicks i.e. a french flag, he will see i.e an english product description, if you didn't translate it yet.

Thx jjk, unfortunatelly this is obvious.
But thanks for the reply, at least we know there's nothing like fallback and we will have to take care about the translations as soon as product si created.
