How do I translate an OpenCart extension?

OpenCart has a 'language' folder to support multi-language on your web store. To translate our extensions for your multi-language store, do perform the following steps:

1. Check if our extension has language files. If there is, perform the following. Else, skip to point 2 below.
a) Copy the files from the english folder to your language folder.
   > e.g. Copy files from catalog/language/english/quickcheckout to catalog/language/chinese/quickcheckout)
b) Open up the files to translate the texts.
   > e.g.

$_['text_hello'] = 'Hello';

translates to

$_['text_hello'] = '您好';

2. If the extension does not have a language file, perform the following.
a) Open up the vqmod script which is located in the vqmod/xml folder.
b) Find all the language blocks in the file. Copy the language blocks accordingly, and translate the text

> e.g. Find

<file name="catalog/language/english/product/product.php"> ... </file>

and make multiple copies of the codes for each language you have, then translate accordingly.

<file name="catalog/language/english/product/product.php"> ... </file>
<file name="catalog/language/chinese/product/product.php"> ... </file>
<file name="catalog/language/spanish/product/product.php"> ... </file>
