Dynamic locale directive changes

If you set Locale keys corresponding to some MiniVend catalog.cfg directives, those values will be set when setting the locale.

PageDir

To use a different page directory for different locales, set the PageDir key. To have two separate language page sets, French and English, you would set:

    # Establish the default at startup
    PageDir   english
    Locale fr_FR  PageDir  francais
    Locale en_US  PageDir  english

ImageDir

To use a different image directory for different locales, set the ImageDir key. To have two separate language button sets, French and English, you would set:

    # Establish the default at startup
    ImageDir   /images/english/
    Locale fr_FR  ImageDir   /images/francais/
    Locale en_US  ImageDir   /images/english/

ImageDirSecure

Same as ImageDir.

PriceField

To use a different field in the products database for pricing based on locale, set the PriceField locale setting.

    # Establish the default at startup
    PriceField    price
    Locale fr_FR  PriceField  prix

The default will always be price, but if the locale fr_FR is set, the PriceField directive will change to prix to give prices in francs instead of dollars.

If PriceBreaks is enabled, then the field prix from the pricing database will be used to develop the quantity pricing. NOTE: If no Locale settings are present, it will always be price, irrespective of the PriceField setting. Otherwise it will always match PriceField.

PriceDivide

Normally used to enable penny pricing with a setting of 100, this can be used to do an automatic conversion factor based on locale.

    # Default at startup is 1 if not set
    # Franc is strong these days!
    Locale fr_FR  PriceDivide  .20

The price will now be divided by .20, yielding franc prices five times that of the dollar.

PriceCommas

Perhaps this isn't a good name anymore, but it controls whether the mon_thousands_sep will be used for standard currency formatting. Ignored if using price_picture. Set to 1 or 0, to enable and disable respectively. DO NOT USE Yes and No.

    # Default at startup is Yes if not set
    PriceCommas  Yes
    Locale fr_FR  PriceCommas  0
    Locale en_US  PriceCommas  1

UseModifier

Changes the fields from that set shopping cart options.

    # Default at startup is 1 if not set
    # Franc is strong these days!
    UseModifier format
    Locale fr_FR  UseModifier formats

If a previous setting was made for an item based on another locale, it will be maintained.

PriceAdjustment

Changes the fields from UseModifier that will be used to adjust pricing. used to do an automatic conversion factor based on locale.

    # Default at startup
    PriceAdjustment  format
    Locale fr_FR  PriceAdjustment  formats

TaxShipping,SalesTax

Same as the standard directives.

DescriptionField

This changes the field accessed by default with the [item-description] and [description code] tags.

    # Establish the default at startup
    DescriptionField    description
    Locale fr_FR  DescriptionField desc_fr

The [locale] tag

You can set standard error messages based on Locale settings. Make sure you don't use any of the predefined keys -- it will be safe if you begin the key with msg_ or such. The default message is set between the [locale key] and [/locale] tags. See the example above.
