Translating J2Commerce into your language is very easy. All the language files are managed in Transifex, an effective localization platform. This guide should help you get J2Commerce to work in your language with a few easy steps.
Go to to check if the translation for your language is available. If you see your language listed and the progress bar indicating 100 %, then you can click on the name of your language to download the translation pack.
It is an installable pack. You can install it via Joomla! installer.
If you see that the translation for your language is not complete or don’t see your language listed at all, you need to translate the J2Commerce. Don’t worry. It is easy to translate J2Commerce to your language. Transifex makes it easy.

Step 2
You will see almost all languages listed there. In case you don't find your language, you can request a language. But that won't be necessary as all the languages are already listed.
So go ahead and click your language. Say, you need a German translation. Click the German language. This will take you to the German translations page listing translations for all extensions of Joomla.
Step 3
Join the team of your language. You can find the Join team button on the top right of the page. See the image below
It would take some time for the coordinators of the language team to approve your joining request.

Step 5
Click a resource to start translating. For example, click on the J2Commerce → admin_com_J2Store_menu. This will open a pop-up.
Click on the translate now. This will take you to the translations management window.
In the top right corner, you can see the source language and the language of the file being translated.
The left column lists the strings. Clicking on a string will present space to enter your translations.
Once you have translated all the strings, click save and exit.
Translate all the language resources in the same fashion.
