You have to activate the multi language option in the HikaShop configuration and then, you will have the language selector like you can see in our demo website.

The Joomla native multilanguage system does not allow us to change only specific language part of products ; it requires to duplicate all products (so different product id and product code). That's why we have integration with these two language components. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

Falang has errors and does not support all extensions (EasyBlog, EasyDiscuss ...) Are you going to make Hikashop compatible with the Joomla 3 standard system multilanguage?

Thanks")* Hi, HikaShop is already compatible with the Joomla 3 multilanguage system which consists in creating one menu/product/category/article per language. We just don't recommend it as it's a lot of work to create and maintain compared to having simply translations of the content via Falang/JoomFish. If Falang has errors, I invite you to report them to the developer. He is quite pro active in fixing them and regarding the support of other extensions, it just require the creation of a small xml file (which is actually almost the same as the xml for JoomFish) so it should be easy to add and you can always ask the Falang support for help on this.
