Thanks, Phil")* Hi, That's indeed the case, everything is retained during updates, provided that you modify things accordingly to our recommendations. For example, for the language file, you should NOT modify the translation file directly but use the override area in order to override the translations you want to change. That override area won't be removed but the default translation file of hikashop will be updated: [ www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify](http://www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify) Currencies are not reseted. But if you delete currencies, they will be re inserted automatically during an update. Instead of removing them, you should unpublish them.

Thanks, Phil")* Hi Nicolas, that's strange since I had edited the language using the method on [ ](http://www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify)[ www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify](http://www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify). The same for currencies, I had unpublished Euros and USD and set GBP as default. After the update it was set to Euros and USD and GBP was unpublished. for example, if you look at *deadlink*, I had changed the Shopping Cart module language string from "The cart is empty" to "Your cart is empty". However, now it is reset to "The cart is empty". I've just tried changing the language file again (via the method you advise) and updated to 1.5 again and it's done the same thing. Any idea why this might happen?

No one had such problem so far in more than six months so there is no reason it would start now. There is no code in HikaShop which would be able to delete the currencies during the install. It's just not possible. Same for the override file. There must be something else to it...

If it says it can't save the file, then it must be an access right issue on that file. You should make sure that the owner of the file is the web server user as it can happen that the web server is not able to write in a file, even though it's 777, if it's not the owner of the file.
