It's a port of JoomFish on 2.5 so it works the same: [ extensions.joomla.org/extensions/languag...ingual-content/18210](http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/languages/multi-lingual-content/18210) Once installed on your website, Make sure that you install the latest version of HikaShop again so that the install process will add the integration with Falang automatically.

Do you mean by installing hikashop again, I can install it over the existing installation so I won't loose any data I already have added? --- I'll keep on trying!

It will all be deleted when I install HikaShop again.. Can't I just add the FALANG components manually into the installation of HikeShop?

If however you had modified HikaShop directly in the files via FTP, you will indeed have to backup your modifications before updating and restore your changes after it. In any case, for any extension you install or update, you should do a backup before, just in case. Also, if you don't want to install just for the falang integration, you can copy the files from the folder administrator/components/com_hikashop/falang to administrator/components/com_falang/contentelements and it should then work.
