To localize the instructions and EMail templates, go to the custom, instructions, and templates directory and create a directory named with the two-letter language code you wish to translate to. If you were translating German, you would create a “de” directory in each of the three directories.
Recursively copy all of the files from the en sub-directory of each directory to the newly created directory.
For Windows:
cd custom
mkdir de
cd de
xcopy ..\en\*.* /s /e
For UNIX:
cd custom
mkdir de
cd de
cp -a ../en/* .
Once you have created the directory structure for your target language, translate the files within it.
If a translation is not found for a specific file, the system will drop back to English for the file.
Headers, Footers, EMail Templates, and instructions should be saved using UTF-8 encoding.
