Same description text in different language

[falatrax]

Hi!

 

I've a Prestashop v. 1.4.6.2 site with 1000's of products. Now I added a second language (english) to the site. Now when I switch the site to english I can browse the products, but in the product view the short description and the descripton text disappeared. How can I show these texts in the english view ?

 

Thanks for help!

Hi flx,

When you're editing a product, there should be a flag to the right of the Short Description and Long Description boxes. Click on that flag to switch the language, and add the text there!

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks Mike I know it! But I don't want to do it with 1000's of products. I just want to show the same descripton text in the english view as in the original language view! Is it possible somehow ?

 

thanks..

Hi flx,

Unfortunately, I don't think there is something set up to do that by default, but I will try to look into it a little further to see if there is anything I can suggest for you.

Hi!

Just a new idea. Maybe is it possible to copy all the description texts from original language to english in the database. I'm not an SQL expert, so maybe someone can help...

I have the exact same problem, I need the descriptions to be the same for all the languages, but as of now I have to manually input the descriptions for every language I need. With more than 6000 products you can realize I'm going to have a hard time. Any solutions to this so far? Thanks in advance guys.
