Modify the interface language

To change the PrestaShop language, follow the steps below:

• Log in to the server console using SSH.

• Modify the ownership of the PrestaShop directory:

  $ sudo chown -R daemon:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/prestashop/htdocs/
  

• Log in to the PrestaShop administration panel using your browser.

• Navigate to the “International -> Localization” page and select a localization pack to import for your language.

  

• Click “Import” to import the localization pack.

• Once imported, navigate to the “International -> Localization” page and select the new language as the default language for your shop.

  

  Alternatively, to add custom translations, navigate to the “International -> Translations” page, select the translation type as “Themes translations”, select the newly-installed language and click “Modify” to begin adding new translation strings or modifying existing ones.

  

• Log in to the server console again using SSH.

• Restore the original ownership of the PrestaShop directory:

  $ sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/prestashop/htdocs/
  $ sudo chown -R daemon:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/prestashop/htdocs//var/cache
