Add new language

Shoppica 2 comes with English translation only. When you add a new language Shoppica automatically takes the missing language files from the English folder.

You need to follow these steps in order to localize all custom theme text:

1) Copy all files located in:

catalog/language/english/shoppica2/

2) Create a similar directory:

catalog/language/YOUR_LANGUAGE/shoppica2/

and paste all files there

3) Translate the copied language files

IMPORTANT!
You should save all of the files you edit with the following encoding: UTF-8 without BOM signature. This should be a setting to choose in your preferred editor. We use notepad++ and changing the encoding there before saving the file is easy.

If you have added any multilingual modules e.g. Welcome, it is recommended to re-save the module options after adding new language. You can re-save Shoppica theme options as well (just enter the admin panel and click Save).
