I know someone who can do it for you but I'd have to check the cost.
The lady in question is Swedish and fluent in 5 or 6 languages including German as she works there frequently.

Yeah, but it's not as simple as the translation part.
PC is not fully developed to handle multiple languages at all really, and there would still be a tremendous amount of work to do here. Yeah, there's the languages files which could be laboriously combed through and duplicated for another language, but all of the data in stored in the database -- product names & descriptions and such, there's nothing to support that. There's a long thread on this here somewhere on the forum, might be on the private side of the forum, on this issue. I could dig around and find it. But, it's not just as easy as translating the languages file at all by any means. |

There is definitely more to it than just the Languages file but you can get a fairly decent website working in another language using ProductCart.
I've got one I've just finsihed that will be going live very soon

Running a site in a language other than English is a case of editing the
Languages files and entering the Product Info in the chosen Language.
It's multi-language websites that are a problem - as Sean says, that is almost completely due to the storage of product info in the DB. |

Just to clarify my earlier post the site I have recently set up in a different language is a seperate instance of ProductCart and the customer purchased 2 licences for this purpose. One for their existing English site and one for the new French site.
It is not a single site running multiple languages as this is not supported in ProductCart and I don't know of any simple way to make it work.

For now, it will just be in german. The multi-language option is still an open discussion...

Most Germans are very fluent in English after having it for 6 years in school (it's mandatory). I be the company has an employee who can sit and translate the language file in less then one hour. I though EI already has this done. I think they had it years ago when I purchased mine. I was going to offer them to translate, but saw they had it. I import German items, but keep my website in English, since my warehouse and operation is in the USA, due to possible legal issues with two languages. I basically serve American with German goods, but do get orders from all over the world including Germany. Anyway keeping the language to the country you are in clarifies to international buyers where you are at. Multiple languages one one site can be confusing to potential shoppers.
