outlet.ee Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Well, I am very pleased now as I solved the problem importing product data in different languages via CSV. First you have to import the products in one language with the import tool though. I opened the SQL database at my web host phpmyadmin, then exported table 'ps_product_lang' in CSV, edited the data and imported it back to the database, and voila!, it works!

outlet.ee Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 It's external from prestashop, you have to log in to your web hosting service and find phpmyadmin or sql database and export-import from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemeclama Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Like outlet.ee says in first post:Well, I am very pleased now as I solved the problem importing product data in different languages via CSV.First you have to import the products in one language with the import tool though. I opened the SQL database at my web host phpmyadmin, then exported table ‘ps_product_lang’ in CSV, edited the data and imported it back to the database, and voila!, it works!You have to go inside your phpadmin (you have to know the address and yours username and password for go inside). Be careful!!! Make backups!!!.Then export the table ps_product_lang in CSV format. Open it with excel and in the second row, you will find de id_lang (Code of the language). Change the product name in the lines with your id_lang. Save it in CSV format. Then go again into your phpadmin and delete the products (you can do it with "truncate ps_product_lang") and import your CSV file with LOAD DATA. That's all. I remake the index and it works fine!!!!I hope you will done it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemeclama Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 As you can see in the picture, you have to open the CSV file with excel. At the second row, you will find the id_lang. Filter the desire id_lang and change the description (of what you want). Then save as CSV and import in your phpadmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemeclama Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 When you export the table, you have to click on CVS for Excel and another click on make a downloaded file. I hope your phpadmin can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pemeclama Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Sorry again... You have to click at CVS data down the other CVS for excel, and you will find the rows in your excel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pemeclama Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 You have to make a filter of the second row (id_lang). Select the language you want and change the descriptions or what you want. Then save like CSV and import in your phpadmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecollectibles Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I do not know how to do.In fact if you have a look at my website, you notice it is in 4 languages but the titles of the items in the English version are complete starting with the country name & to end while the titles of other languages are just 3-5 words & not complete.I just want the title of products in the English language replaces the title of the products in the other 3 languages & make them complete starting with the country name.The language section in the 2nd row are numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & I wonder which represent what language & why 5 numbers while the languages are 4 in my website.Would you please help?
