    Hi

    Magento has a lot of translations in magento connect for default texts in template files.
    If you use static blocks for text - you can create separate instance with different language for each store.

    However, theme can have custom text in template files.
    To translate theme custom texts you need to do following steps ( example for celebrity template ) :

    - create app\design\frontend\default\celebrity\locale\[your_Locale]\translate.csv
    for example for polish - app\design\frontend\default\celebrity\locale\pl_PL\translate.csv

    - edit translate.csv . Each line contain one phrase. Example
    "Newsletter Sign Up","My Newsletter"
    "Special Price:","Now only:"

  • Hello Serge.

    I have try you´r example, but i can not get it to work.

    I have made this: /app/design/frontend/default/celebrity/locale/dk_DK/ (i am using danish language)

    and make a translate.csv and put it in the dk_DK and try your example "Newsletter Sign Up","My Newsletter" but still claims these letters "Newsletter Sign Up" on the frontpage.?

    But i am also unsure that i have understood correctly about [your_Locale]

    Hope u can understand my bad english.

    Thx. Ron

    Translate file is case sensitive. We also use some css tranform to make text uppercase or camelcase.
    Best method is to use chrome developer console ( right-click on element -> show element code ) or firebug in FF

    Here is how the text should be written

    Latest Arrivals
    On Sale
    Newsletter Sign Up

    Shopping cart
  • Ok... sorry but i have now made a new csv file in excel but it will still not work...

    On your screenshot i see that you do not change locale path
    Danish locale is da_DK
    Path should be celebrity/locale/da_DK, not dk_DK
  • Ohhhhh i se, i have changed the name of the map to da_DK, but i still not working... Crying....

    I fix your site.
    You need to create translate.csv with notepad, not excel.
    File had wrong format
    It was
    """Shopping cart"",""Indtest"""

    It should be
    "Shopping cart","Indtest"


    Also dont forget to refresh cache in System -> Cache management if you do not see changes immediately
