Add languages to website
 

If you want to create a multilingual website, you must have the ShopFactory LanguageLink add-on. 
This adds more functions to the Language menu.
Click on Languages, then click on "Allow navigation of your site in multiple languages". This menu item is only available, if you have LanguageLink installed. Add the languages you require to the right window of the wizard which comes up.  To disable a language, simply remove the tick next to the language. Click on OK. Click on the "Languages" button again, and you will be able to select the language you want to work in. The active language is shown in the lower right corner of ShopFactory.




Enter information in a different language
 

Before you can enter information in different languages, you must first Add Languages to your website (see above item).

Click on "Languages". Select the language you want to work with in the menu. Open the product, pages or departments wizard and enter the translations in all the colored fields. Every colored field can have a translation entered. This includes using different images in different languages, if required.

Products, departments and pages must be marked as translated by you, to be visible when you preview your website. Simply tick on on the appropriate box in each wizard, to make items visible in the appropriate language. This great function also allows you to have different amounts of information in different languages available. Your main language defines how many products, pages and departments are contained in your website. All other languages can contain less - but not more.

Please note: Many functions are only available in the main language of the shop. Switching to another language is only designed to allow you to add translations in that language. Therefore you can in other languages for example not add products or change prices.
All fields you can change are marked in the color of the language you have selected. Functions not available are either not visible or grayed out.




Change the default language of the website
 

This function allows you to create a website in a different language. There are more than 30 language templates included in ShopFactory.
Simply click on the "Languages" button on the toolbar. Then click on "Select a language". Now you can select a different language for your shop. All words added to your website by ShopFactory will now be in this selected language. Of course it is up to you to enter the information in the language of your choice.
