FS3 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Hello When I set up our prestashop install i set my translation to GB and that is my default language and 90% of the time customers end up on the page. I have also disabled the change language option on the homepage. However, every now and again customers are magically ending up on the EN website. Now i've not ever typed up, prices , field out detailed of any EN Stuff so of course we get emails saying " Well whats in this product". The only way around this I can see is for me to duplicate or manually (EEEK) type everything into the EN version of the product/pages etc. Any work around? I think its only the odd link or even the emails sent out which seem to default to EN but ultimately i want everyone on the GB page. Any help appreciated.

NemoPS Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 uhm... So you only want the gb language? you can go to localization->languages in the back office and get rid of the US english then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 you can disable unwanted language, but dont remove it. i've noticed several times that merchants have got many problems with store then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stottycabanas Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Did this work for you? I also wanted GB only, but when I disabled EN it seemed to cause some problems, so I had to re-enable it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vekia Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 yess, it works for me well. May i know what kind of problems you've got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stottycabanas Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Hi Vekia, My question was for FS3 really' but no matter. It was a while ago when I tried this and I can't remember what the problems were exactly. I'll give it another go later and see what happens.

stottycabanas Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hmm, trying it again briefly on my localhost, I'm not getting any real issues. I did get a couple of 404 errors where I'd used the 'gb' in urls, so it appears that if there is only one language enabled, that language code is not used in url construction. Maybe I'll give it a second chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yes, exactly, the iso code is not added to the url if you only have 1 language enabled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS3 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I've found deleting EN and just having GB left messes up my control panel/admin area all into french...hence why not doing it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stottycabanas Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 As Vekia says above, do not delete the EN, just disable it. If GB is the only enabled language, you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS3 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Nope even with it just disabled my control panel goes all french/spanish on me. I only have EN and GB installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS3 Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Doing the change of default language and disabling GB works fine, however none of my products has any data in them for the EN language so I am going to have to copy all the text for all the products into the EN version. When I went the other way around and disabled EN and just went to GB for some reason my control panel (IE the langauge of the preferences under admin/employees switches to English GB) it all went french...this seems the easier route bar the control panel problem...please advise Edited October 11, 2013 by FS3 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
