Shonen Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Hello, I recently made a site on PrestaShop 1.6, and I created the site translation from French to English (United States). I ended up with two languages: FR and EN, associated with their respective countries (France and USA). I have two currencies, euro (EUR) and dollar (usd), with the exchange rate set well. By default, the language is FR, and currency is euro. On country settings, you have a choice if you click on the country to choose the default currency of the country (related to language), and I put dollars for usa. On my home page, I can change the language and currency correctly. BUT, if I change the English language, the currency does not, and if I change the currency in dollars and I will return to French, the currency remains Dollar. Have you got this error, do you know if it's fixable? I have not found anywhere the answer to my question. Well thank you! I Hope my English not so bad :/ Edited October 17, 2014 by Shonen (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hi, what you described is how native PrestaShop works out of the box. using native geo localization localization-->countries-->edit country-->set default currency (USA for example) this will relate currency to country based on inbound IP. Note: it is not recommended to use native geo location as non-resolved IP's are NOT allowed to shop. The db used by native PrestaShop is about 85% accurate, so you see issue, yes? There are remedies, if you want to use native Geo Location, for country to currency managment, then I have module (if there were others I'd include, but there are not): http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/193843-module-prestashop-geo-pricing-geo-target-specific-prices-by-country/ I have another module that you can use to match up visitors country default currency, this is 'best' module on the market, see my double your money offer if not: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/349727-module-advanced-visitor-language-currency-localization-detection-ietf/ as for other module solutions for this, they use IP...so I will never recommend them. note: I do not need you to buy my work, I only inform, and I'm loco for localization.

Shonen Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 Hello, and thanks If I understand well, I can't change the currencies depending on the language ? Only with the IP of the customer's country? I don't want to go in geo localisation, just want to set the currencies depending on the language choosen by the customer. If I can't in backend, maybe some tpl or php can be changed ? I don't ask for code (except if you got it), just the right files or folder I have to change.

PrestaHeroes USA Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I advise that you 'not' set currency by language. If that was relevant to internet engineering, it would be part of 'best practices' and implemented in native PrestaShop. visitor localization is not about 'guessing', which is the path you are headed, i.e. guessing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shonen Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks, I'll consider your advice. I was wondering if I was wrong, but if it is not native to prestashop, I'll stop searching for nothing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
