You can follow this manual http://manual.aspdotnetstorefront.co...ge_locale.ashx, actually the only strings that can be translated in the admin are the menus and some other few strings in the home page, all the rest will have to be changed in the code-behind pages/source code. The information that you pasted in can be changed by going to the appconfig or directly via Configuration -> Site Configuration Wizard.

i know this is pretty old, anyway i see this thing hasn't changed..

i have AspDotNetStorefront ML 8.0.1.2/8.0.1.2 and i'd like to translate both the shop and the admin pages...

i think there will be problems with the software updates, since we'll have to do all the translation job again.. how can we handle this situation?

thanks.

We turn a bit more of the admin interface into strings with every release, so while the admin interface isn't yet 100% translatable through strings, we'll get there.

For the moment though, you're correct - if you upgrade, you'll have to 'retranslate' most of what you did before. Keep in mind that for the most part, the admin interface pages don't change vastly between releases (usually), so that would largely be copy/paste

Ok, thanks. Just another information: i need to have the shop in a default language (italian) and the admin interface in english, is it possible?

Hi,

the shop locale is being configured separately from the admin UI. As the admin UI is primarily EN, you can setup the store for use with IT-IT locale.

Cheers,
