Try adding the language to the checkout form;

{exp:cartthrob:checkout_form return="" }
<input type="hidden" value="language" name="FR" /> 
{gateway_fields}

<input type="submit" value="Checkout" />

{/exp:cartthrob:checkout_form} 

 

We have some code to set PayPal’s “LOCALECODE” to FR if the language in the order is set to French. The initial URL’s always the same, but I think PayPal sets the customer’s redirect based on the LOCALECODE that’s sent.

We’re moving away from the forums, though not entirely and not immediately. Lack of support lately is coincidental to that. Unfortunately we’ve had a bad month with it, but we do not forsee that we will have any continued problems with support through our portal going forward, or on forums while we’re still transitioning. We will send out a newsletter and make additional notifications through twitter and other outlets over the coming weeks.

Moving forward; things returning to normal.

Hi Chris, the code made no difference. If I manually change the url once at at paypal from us to fr I get paypal full in French.

I’m assuming you’re on CT 2.1x?

Try putting this after the gateway_fields variable instead of before it.


<input type=“hidden” value=“language” name=“FR” />

The key thing is that the language for the order gets set to FR. If it’s set to FR, the LOCALECODE for PayPal should get set to FR, and that’s what determines the language displayed.

Does this link help https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/e_howto_api_ECCustomizing - scroll down to changing the locale. I looked in cartthrob_paypal_exprexx.php and it looks like it’s trying to read <input type=“hidden” value=“language” name=“FR” /> and then set LOCALECODE to FR.

Hi Chris, does <input type=“hidden” value=“language” name=“FR” /> change the PayPal site language to French when you test it?

What are your shipping settings on your CartThrob->Payments->PayPal page?

I did some testing and it looks like you need to have it set to “Let PayPal handle shipping addresses” for the language variable and LOCALECODE to have an affect. Otherwise, the redirect appears to be based on your shipping country code.

I change to “Let PayPal handle shipping addresses” and have <input type=“hidden” value=“language” name=“FR” /> above gateway_fields (also tried below) and PayPal still comes up in French.

In your testing you can actually get it to come up in French?

<input type=“hidden” value=“language” name=“FR” /> should actually be <input type=“input” value=“FR” name=“language” />. Now it’s working smile

Oh man, I didn’t even notice the incorrect input name/value. When I tested it, I had keyed it in the correct way. So you’re good to go now?
