How to use description and short description for all languages

[Shadowscan]

Is there a way to use the same Short and long description for all languages?

I takes ages to copy/paste it into every language.

Hope somebody can help me with this.

Beside the description you can see a flag. When you click on, a small windaw appears with some flags. When you click on one (american flag for english, french flag for french language...) you can write the description you want in the right language.

yeah, did you read the question? That would take ages to copy over for all 10,000 products...

[FFSMC]

Yes I did, but not enough... I'm sorry... and I don't know any solution to help you. Good luck.

Hi Raulibi,

I created a tool available on www.pataro.fr - Despite it is not free, you can still use the tool as it has 30 free runs available during trial. Basically, the tool can import/update/delete products and categories in all available languages in the BO. It uses essentially Excel as working document.
Please, have a look if this can fit your needs...

I was looking to use a default short description for all languages and I found one solution - what it does - when saving the product, it will write short description in all languages. It's not perfect but may help some one.
Open classes/Product.php and on line 359 (I'm using 1.4)

replace this:
$fields[$language['id_lang']]['description_short'] = (isset($this->description_short[$language['id_lang']])) ? pSQL($this->description_short[$language['id_lang']], true) : '';

with this:
$fields[$language['id_lang']]['description_short'] = (isset($this->description_short[$language['id_lang']])) ? pSQL($this->description_short[$defaultLanguage['id_lang']], true) : '';

I hope that helps.
