knight Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Hi,I've looked hard on the forums, maybe not hard enough (I don't know...)But we're looking for a way to input a product in English in the admin panel and then have it show on the site but to display the product description in English still even if a user selects another language.The reason behind this is that a foreign user can use his/her language to navigate the site but then just read the product description in English. We don't want to have to translate each product description basically.Is this possible? If so, how can we do this?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TropischBruin Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think the issue is that PrestaShop does not show the main language productdescription when the productdescription in any additional language is not added.You will have to add any additional product description in any additional language you have in your shop..., a lot of work ahead.

knight Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Their must be some way to do this, or even copying from the DB. We have nearly 1000 products, doing this for every supported language on the site will be ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrice Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 never tried. but copying one language to another ?and by the way, why do you need to display more than english version ? are the menus different ? or also in english ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted October 15, 2008 Author Share Posted October 15, 2008 Navigation etc is in languages, we just want the product descriptions to be in English rather than just blank as they are now when you select a language other than English.

Avlad Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Yes, menus is own for each language. For example, currently I have 3 languages in the shop and need to setup another 2 in near future and may be 3 more in the next 3 month. All frontend menus are individual for each language, for backend I use only one language. So, now for each new product I need to manually copy it's main description (in english) to each language. If products are similar, I can try to duplicate product and change it description on each language, however copy/paste usually is faster.As I did not have many products, it take only several days to copy/paste descriptions to all languages. However, if I need to import about 1000 products - probably I will make this copy/paste outside of Presta, when preparing input files.So, duplicate main description to all languages by default - if other languages was not filled, will be very good feature.

TropischBruin Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 You could try to create a query for it from your PHPMyAdmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grog Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi,i have create a query to copy all the product descriptions in other languages, it isn't optimized at all, as I'm not a programmer, but it works. If anyone is interested I can put the query here, maybe it will be possible create a specific module and have some suggestions from experts.
