Alternatives to translating prestashop


Recommended Posts

hello all,

 

So i moved hosts from gator to fast comet.

 

Unfortunately i did not realize at the time a few month back that they only allow max vars 4000.

 

So i need like 6000 to open the modules translation page and others.

 

 

 

Their suggesting is to upgrade to a vps for $40 odd dollars a month more just so i can change some translations on my site once every few months ... Yeah right ....

 

So besides the seemingly impossible task of trying to edit the text files what other alternatives are there.

 

anyone made an app or better module that can generate them with out requiring vars to be crazy high.

 

 

I did try the store manager app but it only allows for the translations on category and products ... Seems that program cannot even import my current mail templates i spent a lot of time and effort on.

 

I did search the add-on shop but the inline cannot translate everything.

 

 

Thanks for any suggestions

alternate in all honesty, find different hosting.

 

what does vps give you....

 

well access to most webmaster access...unless you [spam-filter] the you have to learn all that 'stuff'...wait until  you need to ssh in to change something...you will cry, I do

 

I recommend quality hosting preferably with managed support allows you to grow your business...dude the you open ticket to change the bloody thing and go about your day.

 

but to answer your question, no what you want to accomplish is not really 'doable' without proper hosting, including not a to well 'tuned' mod_evasive...lol

 

good luck! el

thanks El,

 

But i found an alternative.

 

I will mark this as solved.

 

I ended up making a wamp copy of my site i translate there and then i copy the translation files.

 

Bit of effort. (roughly 20 mins for wamp) + 10 minutes for site download and install on wamp.

 

But works.

 

Besides the max vars thing fast comet has been pretty good in comparison to my last host.

 

Fast support etc shame that the support level guys just don`t understand how important that option is in presta.

I know right!  Try using a US server that has never heard of PS, mod_security will kick in and the error will not be displayed in the screen no matter what you  set you have to look at php error log.

 

At the end of the day, translation needs to be optimized to not read write everything just because you change one thing...my two cents

El Patron,

 

I agree the translations need to be able to filter before a query.

 

Example

Installed modules

Theme choice

Module choice

Language

then submit so it only generates that specific module.

 

It should also be the same from the module management page now when you click the translate module it just loads all instead of just that 1 module.

 

The front office is not so bad but there are so many modules and lines to get.

Still if you could filter sections of front office would be nice.

 

At the very least they should try load the values over multiple pages at least then it`s just a pain to get to the right page rather than having to deal with hosts.

 

After the 1000`s of posts about this max vars issue since early 1.5 days when php changed you would think that presta would have done something about this by now.

 

In fact there should be a much larger push in improving the whole multi language use of this software since presta seem to be saying they are trying to get into more countries etc.
