Paypal Hosted Solution (Iframe) - Wrong Language

Question

I have found out this bug for Paypal HHS.

If the mercant location is set to italian, in the checkout page I have an Iframe hosted by paypal.

The issue is that the iframe come out always in Italia for all Store Views.

Any idea about how to deal with this ?

is it possible to add a parameter in the Iframe Url, to force a specific language ?

Answer 1

in line 135 replace with:

'lc'            => substr(Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode(),3),

this will fetch you the set language for the store view. the output would be, for example: en_US. With substring you get US or IT.

Make sure that in the Magento Backend in System > Configuration > General the Locale is set to "English (United States)"

Answer 2

Here it is a bug of paypal extension lc variable is set on the base of Mercant Country so in my case it is IT.

Take a look at this file Mage_Paypal_Model_Hostedpro_Request method _getPaymentData (135):

        'lc'            => $paymentMethod->getMerchantCountry(),

So I need to make this dynamic on the base of store view.

I found out that the right value for me are IT and US for english.

Here other language code:

US GB NL DE IT FR

Answer 3

Have you checked the Merchant Location for the 'Website'?

We had this problem with a French and German 'Store View' that were under the same 'Website'. The Merchant Location can only be set at a Global or Website level in Magento. So, we had to remove the 'Store View' for the German site and create it as a 'Website'. This allows us to set the Merchant Location to France for the French Website and Germany for the German website.

Hope this helps.
