PayPal in users language

[lynne]

Hi everybody!

I used prestashop as our website site system, nearly all of our customers will be English-speaking customers, but when our customer was forwarded to the paypal checkout page, the language was Chinese, I know you can change the setting by hand-operated button on the right of the webpage.But how to make the paypal checkout page to display in English automatically/default?

Thank you very much for any help!

Hi lynne,

 

This is a good question. I looked at my paypal module and it does not look to support the LOCAALECODE. It does not seem to be a big issue to install the code to support he language that the user is using when they are sent to paypal and it's very possible you may be able to do it yourself. Also looks like some community members have developed a more robust paypal module that takes language into account.

 

To change the language displayed on the PayPal pages, set the LOCALECODE parameter to one of the following allowable values in the SetExpressCheckout call:

AU – Australia
AT – Austria
BE – Belgium
CA – Canada
CH – Switzerland
CN – China
DE – Germany
ES – Spain
GB – United Kingdom
FR – France
IT – Italy
NL – Netherlands
PL – Poland
US – United States
The following example sets LOCALCODE to ES (Spain).
Request Parameters
[requiredSecurityParameters]
&METHOD=SetExpressCheckout
&RETURNURL=https://...
&CANCELURL=https://...
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=10.00
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=EUR
&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_PAYMENTACTION=Sale
&LOCALECODE=ES

this is from: https://cms.paypal.c...i_ECCustomizing

 

I also suggest 'use full editor', to change your title to something like "PayPal in users language". This way more community members that have knowldege on this subject can help.

 

Suerte!

Hi both of you!

 

I have the same problem - I want my customers to see the paypal page in Norwegian, but now it's always in English.

 

Anyone know how I can fix it?

Which file should I look in?

did you try the solution I posted above?

 

I couldn't find the place to update the LOCALECODE parameter - so if you know which file to look in, please give me a clue

 

Also - I don't quite understand what I should type in the file?

I have found the public function setExpressCheckout() in paypal_express_checkout.php

but it looks like this:

 

public function setExpressCheckout()
{
 $this->method   = 'SetExpressCheckout';
 $fields['CANCELURL'] = Tools::getValue('current_shop_url');
 // Only this call need to get the value from the $_GET / $_POST array
 if (!$this->initParameters(true) || !$fields['CANCELURL'])
 {
  return false;
 }
 // Set payment detail (reference)
 $this->_setPaymentDetails($fields);
 $fields['SOLUTIONTYPE'] = 'Sole';
 $fields['LANDINGPAGE'] = 'Login';

 // Seller informations
 $fields['USER']   = Configuration::get('PAYPAL_API_USER');
 $fields['PWD']   = Configuration::get('PAYPAL_API_PASSWORD');
 $fields['SIGNATURE'] = Configuration::get('PAYPAL_API_SIGNATURE');
 $this->callAPI($fields);
 $this->_storeToken();
}
