Translate error and validation messages in Magento - magento

I have a store with in 3 languages: French, English (default) and German
How to translate the error messages and validation like:
There is already an account with this
email address. If you are sure that it
is your email address, click here to
get your password and access your
account.
Are there any ready translations?

The easiest way is to use inline translations. To enable it, go to configuration > developer > inline translation. Don't forget to restrict translating tasks to your ip on the same developer tab. Then you can simply translate almost anything by simply clicking on it.

Search the message in:-
/app/locale/en_US/Mage_Customer.csv
Here, en_US is the locale code for US English. It is fr_FR for French and so on for other languages.
You can change it there.

Why prestashop is adding a lang particel at the end of a multistore shop url?

I have a prestashop 1.6 installation, in multistore mode. I have some stores already running ok, but now I created a 'german' store with /de url, and have the following issue:
the shop url is something like www.example.com/de, visible and saved in admin
when I navigate to www.example.com/de, automatically I'm redirected to www.example.com/de/it/
I really cannot understand the reason why... All the other shops (fr, es) do work properly. This one does not. No way to keep it simply /de. I already setted a default language for it, I just copied all the settings from the other shops, seems all the same. I cannot spot the error. I also regenerated the htaccess. No way. Could you please suggest me why it is behaving that way?
Ah, funny thing: with firefox will go to www.example.com/de/it/ as described above, while with chrome will go to www.example.com/de/de/!!! No one simply stay www.example.com/de/.
Thank you, regards
Have a check the settings of the german store, probably you have multiple languages enabled / active in Localization > Languages and Prestashop , once you reach the shop homepage, performs a 301-redirect to the default language URL (default behaviour with multiple languages and URL rewriting).
About the funny thing : check the Localization > Localization setting "Set language from browser", this can lead to different language redirects depending of the browser language.

why language is not getting translated in rwd theme magento?

I am working with the new rwd theme , and have installed 4 languages .
English
French
German
Spanish
Although German is working perfectly fine , with emails for new order or account creation being sent in German
In french eventhough it has email templates , the emails are sent in English & some links like " add to cart , Account , about us etc are no translated ( but the translation file consists of these words)
Spanish also has the same issue.
how could i fix it ?
Blow path available all the email template, You can see that this are coming from en_US so this is manage language wise. Suppose you have different store view like French then there available fr_FR. Exact same location put all email file with your needed text.
app\locale\en_US\template\email\

Magento redirect

I have a store with 4 domains for all languages, so a .nl for Dutch/The Netherlands, .de for German/Germany, ect.
Something strange has happened since some time now:
If I enter the .de address I am redirected to the default store view, in my case the Dutch storeview (.nl). When I use the store selector and choose German, I get to the German store.
Next time I use the shop and enter the German domain in the address bar I am redirected directly to the right store. In this case the German store.
I know that it has to be the cookie, but how can I solve this issue?
Try setting the cookie path in system > configuration > web > session cookie to "/" and make sure you have a default store set in Manage stores > Stores .
Try to use an extension that can automatically redirect your certain customers to certain store.

Is it possible to change Magento backend language for one user only?

We got multi-lingual team, and couple of members do not speak each others languages. Is it possible to set Magento backend in separate languages for corresponding users?
each user can choose a language with the localization drop down at the left bottom of every admin pages
You should find that this module from AOE allows you to save the user's preferred language for the admin interface: https://github.com/AOEmedia/Aoe_BackendDefaultLanguage
Once the user has logged in, navigate to System>My Account and the last field (select drop-down) is language).
I don't know how it is in the pay version of magento, but it seems that the community edition has only the ability to change the backend language to one language regardless of who is logged in. Maybe you code this feature by yourself or you keep the english language.
