So in these fields, you can enter a translation key and Joomla will convert it to the corresponding translation if it's available in the translation files loaded on the page. And it just so happens that HikaShop has a translation key: AFRICA="All of Africa" in its translation file (which contains all the text used on the interfaces of HikaShop): [ www.hikashop.com/component/updateme/down.../language-en-GB.html](https://www.hikashop.com/component/updateme/download/download/language-en-GB.html) So it's conflicting with your category name. What you can do to circumvent that is to enter something like this in your category name: MY_AFRICA_TRANSLATION_KEY And then, edit your translation file under the "Languages" tab of the HikaShop configuration and add in the override area on the right side: MY_AFRICA_TRANSLATION_KEY="Name I want for my category" [ www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify](https://www.hikashop.com/download/languages.html#modify) That way, on your frontend, you'll get "Name I want for my category" for that category.
