The following tutorial will show you how to fix missing translations after a new language installation in an OpenCart template.<\/p>\r\n

OpenCart. Fixing missing translations issues<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    If you have added a new language to your OpenCart, but instead of some translations you see just pieces of code like text_follow<\/strong>, that means the used language pack is incomplete.<\/p>\r\n

    \"opencart_fixing_missing_translations_issues_1\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

    Let’s show how to add translations manually.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Copy the code of the missing translation from your browser. That is text_follow<\/strong> in our case. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    Open the theme fullpackage folder with some file manager software that allows search by text function. We prefer Total Commander<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    Click the Alt + F7<\/strong> hotkeys and activate the Find text<\/strong> option. Paste the code of missing translation into the search bar and click the Start search <\/strong>button.<\/p>\r\n

    \"opencart_fixing_missing_translations_issues_2\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    The software shows the list of files containing this code.<\/p>\r\n

    NOTE: Original files with translations are located either in “catalog\/language\/english” or in “vqmod\/xml” folders of your theme package.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  6. \r\n

    In our case, the required file is “vqmod\\xml\\tm_footer.xml.”<\/strong> Open it with some code editor, for instance, Adobe DreamWeaver or Notepad ++, and look for the missing translation code.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  7. \r\n

    Here we can see the following code:<\/p>\r\n

    \"opencart_fixing_missing_translations_issues_3\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n

          \r\n     \t\t$_['text_follow']   = 'Follow Us';\r\n    \t\t$_['text_support']   = 'Online support';\r\n    \t\t$_['text_fb']   = 'Facebook';\r\n   \t\t\t$_['text_twi']   = 'Twitter';\r\n    \t\t$_['text_rss']   = 'RSS';\r\n    \t\t$_['text_yt']   = 'You Tube';\r\n        <\/pre>\r\n
    These are PHP language commands that define titles for the Follow us footer block in the English version. Copy them all.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  8. \r\n
    If you look a few lines above, you will see the code:<\/p>\r\n
      <\/pre>\r\n
     That means the English language file for this block is called footer.php<\/strong> and is located in the catalog\/language\/english\/common<\/strong> folder. We need to add missing translations to the footer.php file of our new language pack.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  9. \r\n
     Enter your hosting server using CPanel File Manager or FTP-client software (Total Commander, FileZilla, etc).<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  10. \r\n
     Nagivate to the “catalog\/language\/your_new_language\/common”<\/strong> folder of your OpenCart installation and open the footer.php<\/strong> file with some code editor.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  11. \r\n
     Paste the code you copied from tm_footer.xml within PHP code block (within <?php   ?><\/strong>) and translate English words into the required language.<\/p>\r\n
    \"opencart_fixing_missing_translations_issues_4\"<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  12. \r\n
     Save the changes. Check your website front end. We managed to fix the missing translation issue successfully.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
