Switch from one version of Spanish to another

    Hi,

    We have translated the entire website from English to Spanish (Spanish) but at the start of the project the client didn’t specify the version of Spanish and we missed addressing that as well. He needs Spanish (Mexico) as an additional language.

    Is there a way to change from es_ES to es_MX and not lose all the translations we added? Is it safe to just change the selected language under General options?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    If you actually change the default language (something that’s perfectly fine on a brand new site without content), you’ll need to change all the content you’ve written to the new language and then translate again all the information.
    There is no proper way to automate this as translations are directional. Even should not be big differences between Spanish and Spanish (Mexico).

    However, now your translations are saved in _trp_* tables from your database. They contain the language codes that are used right now.
    Your English translations are stored in the _trp_dictionary_es_es_en_us table. You can make a copy of this table and name it as _trp_dictionary_es_mx_en_us (the language code of the new default language that you want to set). Then set Spanish (Mexico) language to your TP Settings and Save changes. This will make our system to activate the translations from _trp_dictionary_es_mx_en_uss table.

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for your assistance. Copying data from one table to another worked for us.

    Thanks
