Depta Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Hi everybody, i have problem with changing language by country. I have set geolocation (uploaded GeoLiteCity.dat) and then i've turn it on. Also i've allowed access from countries i need, and forbidden access from countries i don't need. Then i used proxy from US to test accessing to the site from country i don't want to and it works well, so i can't access on the site. So i have allowed two countries (Czech and Slovakia) and i need to use Czech language for people coming from czech and Slovak lang. for people coming from slovakia. I've set this And then Save it. but after i open this again, the flag near Country is again the default (czech)... Also i've allowed using the slovak language here When i access to the site from Slovakia proxy it loads with the default Czech language... I am using prestashop 1.5.4.1 Anybody knows what to do now? Feel free to ask any question!Thanks a lot. Sincerely Johan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 It's best to detect and set shop language based on visitors language as passed by their browser. PrestaShop included browser language detect since 1.4 but it had a bug and was never executed. This but however was resolved in 1.5.6 the execution where language detect by browser worked. This to many shop owners surprise when they upgraded to 1.5.6. The 1.5.6.1 logic looked at the ISO code (language code), i.e. en fr de es. (Note: this code is what you see in your browser URL's) and not the country. This causes problem for shops that have the same language but differ country: en-US US en-GB UK es-ES es-MX This fix goes a long way to setting correct shop language. http://forge.prestas...wse/PSCFV-10876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you visit a shop, and let's say for example you visited and/or changed the shop lang to EN, then every time you return it will be shown in EN even if your browser lang is ES. You would need to clear the cookie before it would display in your browser lang, of course the browser lang would need to be defined in ps.

cheapweb Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) I wish things were as simple as you say. After having cleared history and cookies several times there is absolutely no change, even if I remove danish from my Firefox and default language is set to english in PS. Now the shop ONLY shows Danish and as far as I can see, the only way to ghange that is to remove the danish language from PS, that is what it took to get rid of English. Besides that the currency dont follow language. Edited May 21, 2014 by cheapweb (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 naviate to the shop without all the appended url settings (from view my shop back office) - http://my-domain.com/en/? live_configurator_token=68f3708809b4ad0f48ea53d9928e0008&id_employee=1&id_shop=1 I should have noticed this was how you were accessing your front office. This is not a true representation of a 'visitor'. sorry I did not read your post very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheapweb Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Thats ok since I just tried as you said but it changes nothing.
