Tutorial 19: Edit OpenCart interface using Language Editor

Opencart 3 provides new features that did not exist in previous versions of Opencart, one of the main and newest features is the availability of the Language Editor feature.

With the Language Editor, any language installed in opencart can be modified with the text you find easier to read

In this tutorial I will show you how the Opencart Language Editor works so that you are ready to use it.

Here I will try to edit the contact page in opencart with the default language display like this, I want to edit the text in 3 languages here, let's do it.

First, please visit the Design > Language Editor, here is how the Language Editor page looks

Then please click the Add button in the upper right corner, to go to the form page as below

There are various forms that we must fill in, including:

Store : Usually used for those who use multi store on opencart, if not, you can just leave it as 'Default'

Language : You can choose all the languages ​​installed in your opencart, so the language customization you do only affects the language selected in this section

Route : You can choose the front page route that you want to edit the language, because I want to edit the contact page, so we choose route information/contact

Key & Default : This is the key text used in the programming language, you can choose the right key by matching the Default value with the front page text you want to edit (usually key and text have the same meaning).

Value : Any text that is entered here will overwrite the default text that I previously explained, please fill it with the text you want.

If you have filled out all the forms, please click save at the top right.

I repeated the steps for filling out the form above 2 times with a different language key, and the result is as shown below, there are 3 language customizations that have been made.

Next, let's take a look at the changes to the contact page.

Default OpenCart Contact Page (Before)

Customized OpenCart Contact Page (After)

The text I put in the red box has changed

That's how the language editor works, this new feature is very useful for everyone, especially for people who don't understand coding in opencart. Without touching the program code, everyone can edit the language text easily. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave a comment, thank you so much
