[MODULE] Change shop when changing language

[Mediacom87]

 Hi,

Often, you will read on the Net about SEO tips for your international shops.

One of the first things to do is to propose a domain located by country, such as.fr for France,.es for Spain, ...

This module will help you make it totally transparent for your visitors who can change shops by simply changing languages and find the translated page directly in their language without having to start searching again.

I have been using it for years on my own store to customize key elements such as products that are not sold in other languages or images localized by language, which fantastically improves the feeling of personalization of the sites, as proof that my visitors think I am natively English.

Yes you need to have multistore option on your shop.

Hi @Mediacom87

I hope you are still available, it's been a while.

I noticed your plugin and I would be willing to buy it without any problem but my request (I think) is slightly different from what you developed.

My goal is to move the language selector to the subdomain, so as to obtain:

• it_CH.prestashop.com
• de_CH.prestashop.com
• fr_CH.prestashop.com

Is this possible? If not? Can you develop a custom version for me? I use Prestashop 8.2 fresh, just installed just to evaluate the feasibility of this requested function, but for the moment I have not been able to find it with Prestashop, even activating the Multistore (which is a different thing).

Thanks

Hi,

Whether for sub-domains, domains or virtual directories, the module is based on the languages associated with each store, as it only works with multi-shop mode enabled.

I understand, but that's not exactly how the globalization standard works, that is, it worked that way until recently.

Now to be "global" you need to identify the language and location of the person.

So I should add the combination to your form:

I don't think my module meets your expectations.
