A Shopware newbie here from the Netherlands, hope there is someone here to help me
I am building a webshop in Shopware 6 and it has been a bumpy road. I have read in the Shopware Docs that it is possible to show your webshop in Dutch by installing the Language Pack extension. So I did, but the performance of the webshop and especially the loading time decreased massively. Once I deactivated the Language Pack, the webshop was back on the ‚normal speed‘, so the Language Pack was the problem here.
I work in Shopware version 6.4.13.0 and I wanted to update, but when I did, I got the ‚maintenance screen‘ and the only way to get rid of that screen was to delete the update folder from the directory. So I don’t think I will be updating very soon
To make sure people will be able to visit the website in Dutch, I figured I could just translate all the snippets in en-GB to Dutch manually and fix my translation problem like that. It will take a while, but eventually the entire webshop will be in Dutch.
But my question is: does anyone know if the snippets will change (back) once you update Shopware (if I will ever be able to update it to a newer version ;-))?
Hope there is someone here to help me out (or if you have other advise, PLEASE shoot )
@Max_Shop thank you so much for your answer. Very happy to hear I could use this method
Not the brightest question maybe But how do I open the en-GB.json file? Do you mean just in the backend in the snippets section, or in a more ‚developer‘ way?
I would recommend to try the language pack again with the way I described. I have never seen that a shop gets massiv slower because of more languages.
If it does not work, download you Shopware version from Shopware Changelog | Shopware and unzip it on you computer. Then search for en-GB.json files. Then you know where they are. But there are quite a lot, I did not know.
Or like you mentioned, translate it via the backend. But that is so much effort for nothing.
When I installed the Language Pack I have de-activated all languages besides the Dutch language. It didn’t make any difference in loading speed. Or do I need to delete all languages?
I also didn’t expect the website to get so slow from the Language Pack, but it really took at least 6 sec per page to load… Could it perhaps have something to do with the fact that my Shopware has a lower version than the Language Pack’s version and therefore it doesn’t really reinforce each other?
I’m going to try it with your suggestion, thanks very much for thinking with me!
