    Hi there,
    first of all let me congratulate you for this amazing plugin. Also, all the best with the military service.
    The plugin does work and all the test scenarios complete without a problem.
    Now, I would like to ask you how I can change the default language from Greek into English, since the eshop I am using it has non-Greek customers as target group. I mean the language of the ePOS page where the customers enter their bank details. I tried to change the Language code in the php file, but when I try to make an order I receive a message that the transaction cannot be made (funny enough, the message appears in English).
    I tried to change the following:

    $LanCode = “el-GR”;
    /*
    Other available Language codes
    en-US: English
    ru-RU: Russian
    de-DE: German
    */

    with this:

    $LanCode = “en-US”;
    /*
    Other available Language codes
    el-GR: Greek
    ru-RU: Russian
    de-DE: German
    */

    Our site is multilingual (Greek, English, German, French) using the Polylang plugin. The payment gateway works in any language of the Woocommerce checkout, it is just that we would like to have English as default.

    Can you help please?

    Hi,

    I tried the en-US LanCode and it worked fine.
    Did you tried again?

    Thanks

    Hi there,
    the problem seems to be a conflict with the WPML plugin. Your plugin will work in the Woocommerce Checkout page in English, but not in other language Checkout pages. The only workaround I found for a multilingual eshop with English as the default (3 more languages) was the following:
    1) Create an English language file with Poedit (your plugin has only Greek language po file).
    2) Change the default language in English in your plugin’s php file.
    And the crucial part:
    3) Redirect the checkout page of any language (Greek or other) to the Woocommerce checkout page in English.

    That way the user will be redirected to the Pireaus page in English to enter their card data without errors. It is the only solution working for my setup and my target group (non-Greek customers).

    If you can look into it and integrate a seamless operation with WPML, meaning that from any Checkout page the user will be automatically redirected to a Pireaus page in English, you will be much appreciated.

    In any case, let me congratulate you again for an excellent plugin.

    Thank you.

    It was my mistake to refer to the Polylang plugin. I am using WPML and the relevant WPML Woocommerce plugins.

    WPML is a commercial plugin and is not supported.
    Using the po files as configuration files does not seem as a right solution.
    Also the problem must be for the other languages the links that you have provided to the bank.
    I believe that Piraeus bank require an other gateway for each language.

    Hi there,
    I have already marked this as resolved, but I would like to note the following regarding my site using WPML and your plugin:

    1) If I do not use translated plugin po and mo files for the checkout language I need (in my case English), Pireaus gateway simply returns an error.
    2) Pireaus and your plugin are asking for one specific set of links. I do not see an option in the plugin to add different links for different language pages.
    3) If what you mean by ‘different gateways’ is creating different (language) versions of the same site with separate installations of wordpress and your plugin, I do not think it is worth the time/effort. Also, Pireaus gives you only four language codes, English, Greek, German and Russian. Even if I was using different gateways for each language, what if I have a checkout in Chinese, or Arabic? I find that having a default Woocommerce checkout, such as English, is more practical.

    In any case, thanks again for response – and your plugin!
