Hello,
I do not understand English well and I struggle to find the solution I'm looking on the forum ...
I use joomla 2.5.6 and virtuemart 2.0.2 ...
I'm doing a website in several languages ​​and I have already installed the 4 languages ​​I need. It works natively with joomla.
My problem is I do not understand how to categories and products in four languages​​.
Should I use joomfish or not?
Can I use joomfish along with native mode or it can create problems?
Can someone help me?
Thank you
Agento Print & Web

Setting up Joomla 2.5.x and VirtueMart 2.0.x for multiple languages

  • First make shure Joomla 2.5.x multilanguage setup is correct. See here: http://help.joomla.org/files/EN-GB_multilang_tutorial.pdf

  • Choose your primary language as the default frontend language in Joomla.

  • Check if your required VM2 language pack has been installed in the Joomla language folders. If your language was not included in the com_virtuemart.2.x.x_ext_aio.zip, you might have to install it seperately. In order to locate additional language files, follow the links provided in this VirtueMart forum post: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98362.0


  • Then select your languages in VM2 Configuration - First tab - 'Multilingual shop' form field.
    After that you should be able to switch between languages in VM2.

  • The VM2 categories can be translated by selecting one of your other language in the VM2 'Product Category Form' language dropdown list on top of the view.

  • Similarly, product descriptions in VM2 can be translated by selecting a different language from the dropdown list in the 'Product Edit' view.
    (Note: Set Joomla to use TinyMCE editor or use the JCE editor version 2.2.1 or higher. There is a conflict between VM2 and other editors)

  • In Joomla create a menu for each of your languages, holding menu items for all your VM2 categories and the cart.
Third party translation extensions to set up a multilingual shop with Joomla 2.5.x/VirtueMart 2.0.x are NOT required.
Non-English Shops: Are your language files up to date?
