Retrieve data from another language


Guest

Recommended Posts

I have two languages, but the name of the products is the same for both languages... how can I make the second language retrieve the data from the first? So I don't have to duplicate the info for both languages... is it possible? How?

Thanks!

If it is limited to a single product don't bother...just duplicate the content. Now, if it were a widespread issue then I would recommend something completely different.

It is not just one product it's going to be something like 17,000 products and I wanted something for not having to bother each time in duplicating the products name for the second language...

If you have any recommendation I'll be glad to hear it... Thanks a lot!

I really need to know if there is a shortcut to have just one product's name field for all languages.

Is it possible to do this?

Thank you!

The simple answer is no. All the queries are tied into the languages_id and thus will require tweaks everywhere to a lot of queries.

 

It would be easier and faster to execute a query that will sync all the database entries in one step. This will save the hassle of entering them manually twice but will still require additional rows in the database.

Thanks Bobby, that was exactly what I wanted to know.
