Translating J2Store in your language is very easy. All the language files are managed in Transifex, an effective localization platform. This guide should help you get J2Store to work in your language with a few easy steps.
Go to to check if the translation for your language is available. If you see your language listed and the progress bar indicating 100 %, then you can click on the name of your language to download the translation pack.
It is an installable pack. You can install it via the Joomla installer.
If you see the translation for your language is not complete or don’t see your language listed at all, you need to translate the J2Store. Don’t worry. It is easy to translate J2Store to your language. Transifex makes it easy.
