Thanks for your help Marco")* Hi, That option allows you to activate the translation edition interface in HikaShop so that you can easily translate the content of HikaShop in the interface of HikaShop. For example, when you edit a product, you'll get flags you can click on to get the translation fields and simply fill them. You can still use Falang and HikaShop Starter together without that. That just means that you'll have to translate your HikaShop content via the Falang interface.

Can i skip Falang all together on my multilingual site (using Joomla native language system)?

If you don't want to use Falang, then you need to duplicate your products (once per language), duplicate your categories (once per language) and duplicate the menu items and modules of your shop. That way, you can assign the menu items and modules based on the language and use their "main category" to select their main category of the language selected in them. It's a lot of duplication, which is not required with Falang, but if you don't plan on changing often your products / categories, and you don't need to manage the stock of your products, then it's not a problem. In other cases, it's better to use Falang to translate your shop content.

Thanks for your help Marco")* Hi, If you have Falang, then it automatically uses the current language to translate the different elements when their translations were are present. There is nothing particular needed to do for that. For example, you can translate some joomla modules with Falang, and have other modules use the native language system. Both will display in the correct language on the frontend if you set them up properly.
