Magento translation email - email titles

Question

How do you go about changing the title of emails in a second language store view. Example "New Order" in the New Order confirmation email. csv files are not responding in this case...

Answer 1

Another solution. You can copy the default email templates into a language folder you are wanting to use, and translate them manually.

1. Copy everything in app/locale/en_US/template to app/locale/[YOUR LANGUAGE CODE]/template.

   Change [YOUR LANGUAGE CODE] to the Language Code of your desired language. YOu can find a list here. Make sure it's in the format en_US.

2. Modify the email templates in your app/locale/[YOUR LANGUAGE CODE]/template folder.

3. In Magento, go to System > Configuration > General. At the top left, change your Current Configuration Scope: to the store you want translated.

4. Change the Locale to the language you translated to. It must match correct the language code used in your folder namespace.

NOTE: When editing the email template files, you'll notice some comments at the top containing variables and such. You will see something like <!--@subject Welcome, {{var customer.name}}! @-->. Changing this will alter the subject line used by Magento.

Answer 2

You can just create custom Transactional Emails which include the translations needed for the store view.

1. Create a new Transaction Email template, in your store's required language. Go to System > Transactional Emails and click Add New Template. Load in the default template you are trying to translate and modify the subject and body of the email.

2. Go to System > Configuration > Sales Emails At the top left of your configuration, change to your desired Store View you want these emails to be assigned to.

3. Change the New Order Confirmation Template to the Transaction Email template you created. Click Save Config.

4. Items ordered from that store should now send an email using the translated email you created.
