Setting the language
14 March 2011 at 2:54amHi, I have been trying out Silvercart and very much like what you have done. (I didn't have great success with the ecommerce module).
Anyway, how and where do I set the language to English? No doubt it is staring me in the face but I cannot see how to do it.
Also, is there a smart(er) way to change "VAT" to "GST", for example, rather than editing individual files?

to set the language to english, you have to add the following line to your project's _config.php (e.g. /mysite/_config.php):
// Set the site locale
i18n::set_locale('en_US');
After an initial /dev/build, SilverCart's sites and configurations should be created with the english language.
To use customized translations without changing the code of SilverCart, you can add this to your _config.php (this case expects your project's name to be 'mysite'):
i18n::register_plugin('mysite', 'getCustomTranslation', 100);
function getCustomTranslation() {
global $lang;
$lang['en_US']['SilvercartProduct']['VAT'] = 'GST';
$lang['en_US']['SilvercartPage']['INCLUDED_VAT'] = 'included GST';
$lang['en_US']['SilvercartPage']['TAX'] = 'incl. %s%% GST';
}
Regards,
Sebastian
