Language files
From version 2.0 of the plus templates we've placed all the text
that the store generates in one easy to edit file. This means
that you have the option of changing the default
words and phrases that appear on the
store or in the emails that are received through the orders or
affiliates.
Most users won't want to make any changes at all but it's there
if you need it. It also means that translating the store into
another language is much
simpler. We do have some other language versions available
for download on our free downloads page.
What you need to do is open the file vsadmin/inc/languagefile.asp
or vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php ,depending on your version, in
your favorite text editor like Notepad. Don't make any changes
to the first or last line and be sure that any changes you make
are the ones in the text between "inverted commas".
For example if you wanted to change the word "Details" that appears
next to each product to "More information" you would locate this
line xxPrDets="Details" and change it to xxPrDets="More
information", then save the file and upload it to your server.
You may want to make a copy of this file before making any changes
just in case anything gets messed up. That's about all there is
to it - make sure you check the changes on your store as you make
them.
