Installation

The installation of the Shopware Language Pack is possible in several ways.
On the one hand, you can obtain and configure the extension directly during the installation of Shopware in the initial setup wizard.
On the other hand, you can also license the Shopware Language Pack extension free of charge directly in the Shopware Store at store.shopware.com. You can then download and install the extension under Extensions > My Extensions
It is important that you have previously logged in with your account in the Shopware Account tab. 
After the extension has been installed, you can activate it using the button to the left of the extension.

Switching from the old single language extensions

The language package replaces the previous individual language extensions, which will no longer be developed further from Shopware 6.4.0.0.
In order to install the new complete language package, it is required to uninstall all individual language packages first. This is done under Extensions > My Extensions > Apps using the "..." menu next to the respective extension.
During the uninstallation process, you can select whether the previous data should be retained. This can be particularly useful if you have already made adjustments to text modules.

Settings

Languages for administration

After installing and activating the extension, the languages it contains are directly active for use in the administration.
The administration user can then select the language in his profile settings.
If a language is not to be displayed for selection in the profile settings, deactivate the language using the button on the right-hand side.

Languages for the store front

In the sales channels section, you can choose which languages can be used for the storefront.
These languages are not automatically activated when the extension is installed.
To be able to use a language, first activate it using the button on the right-hand side.
You can then select the language in the sales channel settings.

Miscellaneous

The available languages are maintained on the Crowdin platform.
As soon as a language is fully maintained there, it is made available for use in Shopware through an update of the extension.
