1.4Translating the extension to another language

This extension is translated using a normal locale file. In order to translate the extension you will need to copy the locale file to your desired locale directory and then modify it to translate the phrases accurately. Please follow the step-by-step approach below to translate the extension to your language.


1. Copy the file app/locale/en_US/MageParts_ReorderProduct.csv to your locale directory. In this example we will be using Swedish and so the file should be copied to app/locale/sv_SE/. Please note that this directory path is different for each language. The french locale directory path would for example be app/locale/fr_FR, the german app/locale/de_DE and so on.

2. Open the file you just copied for editing. Almost any text editor should work, for example Notepad (Windows) or TextEdit (MAC).

3. The translations are separated by rows, and on each row are two equal phrases which are separated by a comma (,). Please note that the phrases must be enclosed by quotes ("), otherwise the locale file won't work. The first phrase is used as a reference and should not be modified, the second phrase should be replaced by your translation, please see the example below.


Default locale file, without modifications

"Reorder Products","Reorder Products"
"Add All to Cart","Add All to Cart"
"Add Selected to Cart","Add Selected to Cart"


Translated locale file

"Reorder Products","Återbeställ produkter"
"Add All to Cart","Lägg all i varukorgen"
"Add Selected to Cart","Lägg markerade i varukorgen"


4. After you have added the new locale file you will also need to refresh the cache in Magento's administration panel before the new translations take effect.

If you wish to change any of the english (default) translations you can of course do so by simply modifying the locale file app/locale/en_US/MageParts_ReorderProduct.csv.
