Hi.
When I install the Italian language in joomla 2.5.11, Virtuemart, in StoreBox, lost all settings!
Why?

Do you mean lost your settings or you have lost your categories, products etc. Please be more specific.

If its products and categories then Virtuemart uses language to store products and many other stuff in that language database table.

Such as if you have started with English language and added products etc and then changed your language then you need to recreate your products etc for Italian Language.

Alternatively you can edit the database tables names to your Italian language but only do this if you have knowledge on how to edit db tables.

If your missing settings are not above then please explain in more detail.

See you around...

Wait, I explained badly.
I installed the sample template, then I installed the Italian language in joomla.
At this point, Virtuemart loses all settings and by tens of errors.
I would use the examples of Virtuemart to start but when I install the Italian language virtumart crashes!

@Bourne23.
I am not sure what changes you have made but Virtuemart stores product and other information in following tables, see _en_gb at the end of each table which is for English language. All product information prior to you changing your language will be in below tables.

Code: Select all: _virtuemart_categories_en_gb _virtuemart_manufacturercategories_en_gb _virtuemart_manufacturers_en_gb _virtuemart_paymentmethods_en_gb _virtuemart_products_en_gb _virtuemart_shipmentmethods_en_gb _virtuemart_vendors_en_gb

If you have changed language to German then you will also have following tables. Example is for de-DE. So any products you have added after you changed your language will be in below tables.

Code: Select all: _virtuemart_categories_de_de _virtuemart_manufacturercategories_de_de _virtuemart_manufacturers_de_de _virtuemart_paymentmethods_de_de _virtuemart_products_de_de _virtuemart_shipmentmethods_de_de _virtuemart_vendors_de_de

Now depending on which tables has products, you need to choose one of them and edit table names in PhpMyAdmin to your German tables.

Such as deleting below table.

Code: Select all: _virtuemart_categories_de_de

And renaming below table

Code: Select all: _virtuemart_categories_en_gb

to

Code: Select all: _virtuemart_categories_de_de

Please backup your website and database before making any changes.
