Configure Languages

Note

To facilitate explanation of configuration, will take the following Multishop scenario:

1. Company Group Name
2. Shops with different Domains for each country. Will configure the subdomains "en." for "English" and "es." for "Spanish" language.

PS16

Default Language for each Shop

With the aiming that module shows correctly the language list, will need assign one language to each shop. Go to: Localization > Localization

1. Select the shop to configure
2. Select the default language for the shop
3. Disable Set language from browser

Note

Save and repeat this step on each shop.

Warning

If the step 2 is not saved correctly, you'll see the language checkbox unchecked. This happens when you try to save the same language as the shop group have already by default. In this case you have to select and save in any other language, then set and save it again with the desired language.

Language Routes

If we want to avoid the links like www.company.com/language_route(en, es, fr, etc...)/ we have to set in each shop only one language, and this language should be the default language set on the previous step. Go to Localization > Languages

1. Edit each enabled language to assign the associated shops

1. Verify which language you are editing
2. Check in group shop only the shop with the default language configured

Note

Save and repeat this operation for each language enabled.

Tip

If there are any other languages that are not used in the group, we will also edit it to clear all the group shops.
