How the Multi Language System Works

The multi language functionality of USU5 PRO provides unique urls for every language enabled for your shop. The default language works exactly how it did before adding multi language but all of the non default languages act differently.

To explain this we'll take the example of the default language being English and two other languages, German and Spanish. Examples given below: -

• index.php
  • English - www.mysite.com/index.php
  • German - www.mysite.com/index.php/de
  • Spanish - www.mysite.com/index.php/es
• privacy.php
  • English - www.mysite.com/privacy.php
  • German - www.mysite.com/privacy.php/de
  • Spanish - www.mysite.com/privacy.php/es
• Product Seo Url
  • English - www.mysite.com/my-great-product-p-32.html
  • German - www.mysite.com/de/my-greatgerman-product-p-32.html
  • Spanish - www.mysite.com/es/my-greatspanish-product-p-32.html
• Category Seo Url
  • English - www.mysite.com/my-great-category-c-3.html
  • German - www.mysite.com/de/my-greatgerman-category-c-3.html
  • Spanish - www.mysite.com/es/my-greatspanish-category-c-3.html

Once activated, if your site is accessed with a language based url ( e.g. www.mysite.com/de/my-greatgerman-category-c-3.html ) osCommerce will be set to load the relevant language.
For the first time an osCommerce shop can be indexed seperately for its seperate languages.

How to Activate Multi Language Seo Capability

Admin > Configuration > Seo Urls 5

Enable multi language support? > Set to true

You Have to Upload a New Languages Box File

Multi language urls work differently so the old language selection box is no good.

additional_uploads

Upload the files in the additional_uploads directory maintaining the osCommerce directory structure.
Note: Ensure to use the correct files for your version of osCommerce e.g.

• osCommerce 2.2 - version2.2 directory
• osCommerce 2.3.X - version2.3 directory

The links produced will be like index.php, index.php/de, index.php/es. At this time the links will not keep the user on the same page. ( i.e. wherever the user is in the site they will be taken to the index page on clicking a language flag )
