Enhancement [Contact information]: There shall be different contacts versions for multi-language sites

[dart-com-ua]

We support two languages in our store. But contacts info can't be set for different languages.

It will be great to re-build Contacts and made it as a module which will support multi-language

Hi dart,

Do you mean the contact us page?

[dart-com-ua]

Yes, I mean "Contact Us" page. There's also can be implemented the ability to add article to top main menu as separate page

[tocjack]

Ok. Put it into v1.1.8.6

[tocjack]

Dart,

I have tested the contact us page with english and chinese. It works. I think about it again. If you need an enhanced contact us module, it would be better to implement it as a module later.

So, i will not added it into v1.1.8.6. It should be implemented as an extension based on the detailed requirement.

Jack, I hope you understand me correctly. NOW TC have only ONE "contact us" page. It's the part of shop configuration "Contact Information". And this isn't correct for multilanguage stores.

If my shop support 5 languages I need to place on the same page 5 different shop info parts for different users. This page will be long and user shall search his appropriate part on the page.

If you write contact information about shop in Chinese, no matter which language you will use. You will always will see contact information in Chinese.

"Contact information" shall be removed from shop configuration and moved as Information article where store owner can write different language versions. There's no need to add new module.

http://endless-desperation.ru/contact.html here's the link, try to switch from English to Russian. Contact information will stay in English.

I hope you understand what I talking about or I need to add images?

Jack.

admin menu configuration / configuration / my store / Store address and phone

has only one possibility of configuration. It's not multi-lingual.

TC is not fully multilingual. That's a fact.

to solve that specific limitation, I added a function in class article to get an article by it's name. (because the article_id is not visible in admin, and might change, so I use the name as key) then another function to insert the content of an article, anywhere I need. then I added articles with the content in multi language (address, tax note....)

that's it folks

It's the same what I mean. I propose to add Contact information as an Information article and use multilingual article version. There's no need to add additional module, just to fix contacts module

[claude-ws01]

Of course it's the same!!!! :) From my understanding, the is not meant to be multilingual. And, perhaps, the , which is not a module, but just an entry in table_configuration, COULD be put else where. Table_articles is one option that is multilingual.

Hope that clarifies. c.

[dart-com-ua]

No, interface, articles, products, categories, messages. All is multilingual except of few moments. Yes, they're not major issues, but it will be better to re-done them in proper way.

Have you ever tried to send an invoice or order to a russian, while you are in admin in english? And? In what language is the invoice? in english or in russian?

You do not even know which language speaks the customer. There are no language_id on customer.

Just like you said, stop the gadgets and focus on completeness and stability.

[dart-com-ua]

Yes, it may be an issue, but we use Russian admin panel version and all our customers understand both languages. But I agree that it shall be fixed

[claude-ws01]

Well I have both french and english speaking customers. And out of respect to them, I modified my TC so it communicates in the customers language.
