Is it possible to manage a multilanguage installation with the Market Theme?

Wordpress can manage multilanguage installations but the Market Theme is just a theme. You'd need to manually translate all text in it if you want to use it in another language. Not sure if this is what you are asking…

I am also interested by multi language platform but for the cart options. Is that feasible to have the cart (Paypal) in french or spanish ? (Is there a choice somewhere ? Is that linked with pay pal plug in & has nothing to do with Market … & then it is a good news ;).

thks

I am not sure how what you are asking…the cart would have to be translated in another language manually. To have the cart trabsfer you to a French?spanish version of Paypal….I don't know how to do that.

Eli, the owner should be back soon to answer these questions

If the Markettheme would be gettext ready we could use this plugin. I can add a german and an italian translation of the theme. But I don't have the knowledge to prepare all the strings in the theme for the gettext variables.

Any help from the Markettheme.com administration?

Alex…

Product descriptions will be entered by you, so whatever you place within those descriptions will be shown. 

Also, there are instructions in the support forums on how to change the currency that Market uses.  Whatever the currency settings are set to will transfer to Paypal, and Paypal will display the totals in that currency.  If a buyer is from a different country, I believe that Paypal converts it automatically to whatever currency that particular buyer is using.

Thomas…

I haven't worked with "gettext" before, (is that the name of the plugin?)  I can't really give you any answers regarding how that that plugin would affect Market.  I'm not sure how it works.  Sorry I can't help more with that one.

Market now contains a language file, where you can edit any of the text that appears throughout the Market theme pages.

All you have to do is edit the text in the one file "mkt_language.php".

So far I've been able to make a multiple language option, the issue now, is to translate the cart options into tranditional Chinese when the user is at the Chinese version:

http://www.organicland.com.hk/…..ng=zh-hant

Is it possible to have the file mkt_language.php in two languages, have a mkt_language-cn.php that is active when "?lang=zh-hant"?

Any suggestions??

Is there any .po or .pot file we can use for translation?

Maybe…

On line #4 of your functions.php file is where the language file loads.

If you were to make a copy of your language file (say mkt_language_chn.php) with your chinese file, you could have an "if then" statement that queried the URL.  If it found your "lang" variable, it would load the other language file.

But then, you'd have to make sure your links included the variable.

Personally, I'd probably create a function that stored "lang" as a session variable.  That way you don't have to try to figure out how to change all of your links.

This way, you'd just have to run the function one time to set the session variable, and then you could have the #4 line of the functions file just test against the session variable.

Is is possible to write me to code, so I can just paste it and try it?

Thanks!

Sorry, but that type of support is not included. 

You'll either have to do some research on PHP, or hire a freelancer to help you do it. 

Unless maybe someone else in this forum would like to help out?

Anyone?

Like the other people in this thread I am looking to use your theme in a multilingual environment.

However, the mere fact that Admin doesn't know what GETTEXT is doesn't boost my confidence.

Also, to tell a prospective client to  "If you were to make a copy of your language file (say mkt_language_chn.php) with your chinese file, you could have an "if then" statement that queried the URL.  If it found your "lang" variable, it would load the other language file.", tells me that you absolutely don't have a clue how to work with websites in a multilingual environment!

Each and every modern theme comes with a .pot file and each and every modern theme is programmed with GETTEXT!

To read up on making your theme ready for such an environment I would suggest to visit the WPML website and in particular the page on WordPress Theme localization (http://wpml.org/2009/05/wordpr…..alization/). You can also read up on the subject in ICanLocalize and WordPress.

As long as your theme does not have a pot file and the Admin is not willing to invest time to make this theme multilingual, there is no chance that you will be able to make us happy. WIth us I mean the entire rest of the world outside of the USA, which basically are quite a few people come to think of it!

Looking forward receiving some kind of response on the subject!

senlin - You can save the attitude.  

Would you rather I make false claims about my GETTEXT knowledge to get a sale? 

Moyomoy asked a question and I was helping to brainstorm possible ideas.

If I don't boost your confidence, then don't buy.
