Hi

I'm trying to setup a multiple language shop and have a few problems.

First I want the shop to change currency when I change the language. How do I do that?
Second I want certain products not to be displayed in the english site, e.g. course in danish :-)

Hi,
I think that the easiest way to do that will probably be to use a currency and language switcher module, so you customers will be able to choose it themselves.

Not optimal, but i'll work :-) Thanks

What about not showing danish products when choosing english language? Is that possible?

I've tried translating the published field in falang to 0 but the product still appears in the categories listing and when I click on it, it shows product not found.

There is no option to hide products based on the current language however there is a way.
If you create one hikashop category menu item per language and that you associate each with a specific product category, you can have different category trees (one per language) and then add the products to their categories for each language.
So your category tree would be:

computers (en)
- laptops
- desktops
- tablets
Ordinateurs (fr)
- portables
- fixes
- tablettes

And when you have a laptop that you sell to both en and fr you add both laptops and portables categories to it, but if you sell it only to the fr market, you only add the portables category to the product.

That way, when you switch the language, the menu items will change based on the languages.

Definitely a workaround worth trying.

Both my issues is standard functionally in virtuemart, and something I would love to have in Hikashop.
