For example, the menu bar are not being translated into Japanese when i select the option. I would also like to do another set of artwork for the Japanese website. Is it possible that I can do 2 sets of "websites", 1 English and another Japanese. With same layout, same inventory, different artwork and text? I also have another set of domain name for the Japanese website that ends with .jp My main concern is the inventory and products... Would like that both English and Japanese websites are able to share the same inventory! Thank you!

I'm glad Ive upgraded to 1.5.3 However, im a little confused with Shop Group and New Shop. If I like to use the same theme, same shared inventory etc, different artwork and language description for the products, which one should i choose? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenGraph Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hello, If you want to share products and stock, both shops have to be in the same group, otherwise you won't be able to share stocks. Best Regards Zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would like to set up 2 shops via Multi-shop feature on version 1.5.3 1 is a English version while another is a Japanese version. However my requirements are: Both shops must share the same inventory Both shops share the same customers base Shop 2 will have Japanese language description for their products Shop 2 will have different artwork on frontpage with Japanese language Under Multi-shop feature, I will have to choose either to "Add a new Shop' or "Add a new Shop Group" and thus I am confused with the differences here.

SO I hope you get it this time.. Click on Add a New SHOP (under the same default group) Creating a new group is for Different websites that won't share products and stock and customers or carts.
