Hi I am coming back to this topic as I am a bit confused about management of multilinguage site.

For the footer I placed 4 blocks and use cms content to display content in each columns referring to this instructions:
http://answers.themler.com/articles/67124/how-to-show-the-content-of-magento-static-block

But know how can I make with other language? how can I get a static block that is in english language and place it in the english version of the footer?

And could you give me some directsions on how to manage homepage content in body for different languages?

Should be a different template for each language created? or how?

Thank you
Marco

Hi,

This question is related to magento, not to the theme.
You should configure the Magento localization (install languages, etc). And then create different blocks for different languages and configure "Store View *" of each static block. You can find details instruction in Magento documentation.

The only thing you can make in the theme is adding of a Language control (from Insert tab >> More) to switch the languages.

Thank you,
Olivia

Yes, I already confugured languages and managed static block.

For example I created 2 static block for the first columns in footer.
One static block is for the italian site: "Footer colonna 1 themler"
The other block is fot the english vire "Footer colonna 1 themler EN"
I assigned to the 2 blocks the same identifier "footer_themler_col1"

and inserted cms content with this code:
<?php $staticblock?>load('footer_themler_col1');
//echo $staticBlock->getTitle(); // block title
echo $staticBlock->getContent(); // block content
?>

I suppose that the front end should get the static block "footer_themler_col1" displaying the italian version for IT languae and the english view for english view.
But I am always getting italian view.

Do you think I made some mistake or there is some bug in themler?

thank you

Hi,

Please try the following solution:

<?php
$Store = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode();
if($Store == "default"){
$staticBlock = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->load('block-1');
echo $staticBlock->getTitle(); // block title
echo $staticBlock->getContent(); // block content
}
elseif($Store == "german"){
$staticBlock = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->load('block-2');
echo $staticBlock->getTitle(); // block title
echo $staticBlock->getContent(); // block content
}
else {
$staticBlock = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->load('block-1');
echo $staticBlock->getTitle(); // block title
echo $staticBlock->getContent(); // block content
}
?>

Here "default" and "german" are store codes from System >> Manage Stores.
I've created two blocks with different IDs: "block-1" and "block-2".

Thank you,
Olivia

This way it seems to work!

So do you think I shoud use the same solution also for the body of the page?

thank you

Hi,

This solution for any static blocks no matter where they are located.
Not sure about other content. I'm not so good familiar with Magento.

Thank you,
Olivia
