Topic: How to properly set a new language ?

This topic has been marked as resolved.

I’ve added Arabic to my OpenCart (v1.5.1.3) and I’m having a problem with Shoppica theme. Arabic is Right to Left language and that is set properly as i can see in the main page source : dir=”rtl” However, Shoppica is still displaying the content as LTR. The top menu is on the left , Module’s titles such as “Latest Products” are still on the left , the Shoppica footer starts from the LTR .. etc How can i fix this and make it completely RTL if the chosen language is Arabic ? Thank you.	meshal500

Thank you for the reply. That’s what i have done : 1 – Added this code to header.tpl (between head tags) : `<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="catalog/view/theme/shoppica/stylesheet/960.css" media="all" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="catalog/view/theme/shoppica/stylesheet/screen.css?v=1.0.10" media="screen" /> <?php foreach ($languages as $language): ?> <?php if ($language['code'] == 'ar'): ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="catalog/view/theme/shoppica/stylesheet/RTL.css" /> <?php endif; ?> <?php endforeach; ?>` ** I noticed that catalog/view/theme/shoppica/stylesheet/RTL.css DOES NOT EXIST. 2 – I uploaded the files of shoppica_1.0.11.rtl_.zip to their proper folders. 3 – Made the code replacement on catalog/view/theme/shoppica/template/common/footer.tpl Results : The problem still exists and the above haven’t resolved the RTL issue. Did I do something wrong ? Maybe the problem is that RTL.css DOES NOT EXIST ? This reply was modified 4481 days ago by meshal500.	meshal500

Hi, I went a step a head and tried renaming the path after posting my last reply. Still the same. The content is not RTL yet. And if you chose “English” , some items will not display properly. Please follow the link to my store and check both languages and how it displays them , note how Arabic is still not RTL. Thank you,	meshal500

That’s really great … And this is the Shoppica language file is translated to Arabic. To apply it: 1- Download the attached file. Then unzip it. 2- Drop the file (“Shoppica.php”) in this path: [OPEN_CART_PATH]\catalog\language\arabic\module	Khaled_288

Hi, I have one more question please. The footer displays its content as the following : Info – Contact – Twitter – Facebook I noticed in another Arabic store that uses Shoppica that they managed to get it displayed as : Facebook – Twitter – Contact – Info Which is more suitable for a LTR language. I would be glad if you can direct me to the changes to be made to get smiler result. The website mentioned above is : http://vanillaeshop.com/ Thanks ! P.S. ALFASSAM , I’m sorry but I still cant publish my store publicly but you can check the link above as they have installed the Shoppica theme and managed to get it perfectly working in Arabic.	meshal500

Guys … I still have some minor issues: - the list of products are still flow from left to right. - product page layout is still as in English version: Add to cart in the right & the product image in the left. I applied “rtl_screen.css” but still have these issues. Have you fix these issues? This reply was modified 4466 days ago by Khaled_288.	Khaled_288
