I sell in 2 languages - can I have paypal use both and still use e-junkie?

[mchilger]

I need to have the e-book links on this site http://pokerbooks.internettexasholdem.com/ check out in english.

Note that the hard copy books are sold directly through paypal, the ebook links are what I am referring to. When you click on them, they take you to a spanish paypal page.



I see that my default language is spanish, but I don't see any way to not use the default setting for my products and it looks like that e-junkies language settings and paypal do not work together.



The spanish site which sells the e-books is - http://www.pokerbonosgratis.com/



This checks out through e-junkie into paypal and all paypal checkout pages are in spanish, so I want to keep these in spanish.



I found the info about this topic which says that there is a default setting to change to change the language in e-junkie.



I got the info from this forum which seems to say there is no solution to my problem - http://www.e-junkie.com/bb/topic/3642



Can you give me a way to sell ebooks using paypal and ejunkie in 2 checkout languages?



thanks

The checkout language setting in Seller Admin no longer works for PayPal, due to changes at PayPal's end. However, it looks like you're using our Buy Now buttons (instead of Cart buttons), so you can make the PayPal checkout page come up in Spanish by adding "&lc=ES" to your buttons' href= URLs -- e.g.:



<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=668888&c=single&cl=105831&lc=ES" target="ejejcsingle" rel="nofollow" title="Click Here to Buy The Poker Mindset in eBook Format"><strong>Also available in eBook format for only $16.95</strong></a>



Regardless of the language used on the initial checkout page, once the buyer logs into their PayPal account, their own account's language setting would be respected.

Thanks, I think I would really need to make some be in English since the Spanish site actually has a view cart button and the English site does not.



I added this, but it was still in spanish "&lc=EN"



I thought that would mean English. What would the code be to make the paypal page in English?



Thanks very much

Actually, "lc" stands for location/locale, so you'd use &lc=US (for American English) or &lc=GB (for British English). :^)



However, PayPal's language behavior is a bit more complex than simply that, as explained in more detail here:

and on another site



https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?c=cart&i=620964&cl=105831&ejc=2&lc=ES



- I have paypal & ejunkie set to english, in the preferences on each site, and when I put this code in that is supposed to make something appear in spanish, (I think it is supposed to make the paypal landing page appear in spanish, It does not.



Is there any way to have both paypal and ejunkie set to english, yet have a spanish landing page at ejunkie or paypal?



Thanks for you help

Adding &lc=ES will only work on Buy Now buttons because PayPal provides no way for us to specify an arbitrary language or locale for cart-based checkouts. PayPal already jumps through a lot of hoops to guess the buyer's language preference accurately, so you may not need to do anything special anyway.



If the buyer has a language cookie set in their browser, PayPal will respect that; if the buyer has a language preference set in their Web browser, PayPal will respect that; if you are selling tangible goods that require a shipping address, PayPal will apply a language based on the country the buyer selected in their cart (if they have a language assigned for the selected country). Finally, regardless of what language PayPal uses on their initial checkout page, once the buyer logs into their PayPal account, the language preference in the buyer's PayPal account would be applied.
