Activate spanish language on msmax 1.7

[knullhund]

I'd like to be able to use 3 languages on my shopping cart. The two default languages (english and german) plus spanish. Please what do I need to do to activate this third language and also how to deactivate say german.

Go to your admin side and -->localization-->languages and turn on and off what you need

Thanks Kim, the only problem is that my admin section only contains german and english. I had previously msmax 1.5 and it did have those 3 languages; but this new version (1.7) doesn't.

sorry knullhund I should learn to read properly. ('')


In your file manager, do you have a spanish folder under catalogue/admin/includes/languages? ( I am sorry I only have 1.5.5). If not, make a spanish folder, and copy across all the files from catalog/admin/includes/languages/english to your new spanish folder. I think you also will then need to change the defines in the admin boxes.php file to include spanish. (I havent checked to see if it is already there and I am not a coder, I just hack what I can).

I will have time to take a proper look tomorrow when the olds go back home after Christmas, but that should put you in the right direction.

Cheers

Thanks Kim, for some reason they turned off spanish on the 1.7 version. I'll try, for now, to follow your advice.
Thanks.

Kim, I figure it out. What one needs to do is just to create a language directory in the admin. You have to be carefull to fill out the spelling right eg ;name: Espanol; Code:es; and most importantly Directory:espanol. Notice 'espanol' has to be in lower case, and even the flag comes up automatically.
Of course I tell you this info so that when other people need to change a language or take out one.
Regards,
Knull
