How to translate HikaShop ?

If HikaShop is not translated in your own language, you can easily add a language file in HikaShop.

Step 1: Log into your Joomla Dashboard

Step 2: In the top menu, hover over Components, click HikaShop

Step 3: On the HikaShop menu System, click on the tab Languages

If HikaShop is not translated in your language, you should see a small Add Icon next to your language (only installed languages are displayed on this area so you have first to make sure the Joomla language file is installed on your website).

Step 4: Click on the add/edit icon and a popup will open, enabling you to modify the language file.

If the language file already exists, you will be able to modify any string used by HikaShop with this interface.
If the language file does not exist, the English version will be loaded so that you can translate the strings from this English version.

• The lines starting with # should not be translated (example : #price )
• Each translation string is composed by a namekey (in upper-case) and the translated string separated by an equal sign (=).
• The translations are enclosed in double quotes. You should keep them while translating and not add double quotes in the string when modifying a translation as that would break the file.
• You should not modify the string before the equal sign, otherwise, you will break the language file.
  Example: The 8th line of this file : PRICE_AFTER_TAX=”With VAT) “ should be changed to PRICE_AFTER_TAX=”TVA incluse) “ for the French language.
• Do not add any return character in your translation, otherwise, you will break the language file.
• Sometimes, you will see the sign %s. This symbol indicates a variable which will be replaced by a string or a number in HikaShop.
  • Please do not modify this symbol!
  • If there are two %s in the translation, please do not change their order in the sentence.

Step 5: Once you translated your language file, you can click on the button Save. Then, if you want to share your language file with the rest of the community, please click on the button Share.
