So, the texts on the website and emails will be in the language of the user. Concerning the translation of products and categories (the content), it is handled in HikaShop with an integration with JoomFish which is the defacto solution on joomla 1.5 for translation. JoomFish is not yet ported on Joomla 1.6 so you won't be able to translate your content in HikaShop on joomla 1.6 until JoomFish is released for Joomla 1.6 I doubt that any other ecommerce solution for joomla 1.6 has multilingual capability at the moment. Your best bet is to stay with J1.5 for the time being I would say.

I'm now 100% Joomla 1.6. Do you have any plans to make HikaShop multilingual, natively on the Joomla 1.6 platform and without using Joomfish?

You just add a language attribute to products and categories and modify the queries in HikaShop to only display the products/categories of the current language. The problem with this is that it means that you need to duplicate your products, one per language (it's what you have for articles, menus, etc). So that means extra work compared to the current solution where you just duplicates what needs to be translated. Plus, when JoomFish will release their new version, that integration will become useless since the joomfish way will be better. So we're still wondering if it's worth doing...
