Hi. After a brief search I have not found a portuguese translation for this store. So, I am making a new one. I have already translated 50%. I could use some help, not for the tranlastion, but to make it work, because I can not make this language work at is own, i have to put it on english directory to work as portuguese. Sorry for my bad english… Hope to ear something from someone… 😉 ---

Hello monteiro, our friend Vikram made a very complex tutorial of language handling in OXID eShop. Maybe the part “Adding New Languages” is helpful to you: > **[Translating The OXID eShop GUI](https://oxidforge.org/en/translating-the-oxid-eshop-gui.html)** > > By Vikram Vaswani > While English is the language you're most likely to see on the Internet, it's important to remember that there is still a large percentage of Internet users for whom English is not their native language. This fact is of particular... What we could do furthermore, is to place the 75% translated language file here: [http://www.oxidforge.org/wiki/Category:Languages](http://www.oxidforge.org/wiki/Category:Languages) Maybe somebody else could help translating. In the meantime, I would write a short step-by-step tutorial of how to add a new language to the shop using Portugese as an example. Regards ---

Hello Luis, > when I change on the front office to the portuguese language the information like the links desapear… why is that? Sure 🙂 The demo data still had to be translated. See what I did with the category “Presents” in your shop. It works like this: - go to Administer products -\> categories, mark a category - select list in the top right corner shall be set to English - scroll down to the bottom of the category and copy “Presents” to Portugese - switch to Portugese and translate to “Presentes” - save Regards ---
