Hi,

I'm migrating a website from joomla 4 to joomla 5. The website used Falang for multi language pages but I want to remove Falang and use native joomla functionality). So I deinstalled Falang. In hikashop the mulit language option is set to yes. The products and categories have translated titles and content. But on the frontend I only see the dutch titles and content (default language is dutch). See screenshots of the same product on a dutch and an english page. Everything is translated as it should be (like add to cart button, and the cart module in the header)/ But the content and title stay in dutch. I also include some screenshots of the product in the backend so you can see that there is english content.

What am I missing here?

Hi,

With Falang, the translations are stored in the falang_content table in the database.
HikaShop bases itself on that information to store and load the translations of the elements in the backend, either in that table, or in the language override file of Joomla.
On the frontend, Falang uses a plugin to dynamically load the translations.
So, if you go in your PHPMyAdmin and rename the falang_content table, it will force HikaShop to use the language override file of Joomla to load and store the translations, and it will work on the frontend.
The downside, is that you'll have to redo your translations as there is no mechanism to migrate the translation data from Falang to the Joomla language override file.
