Absolutely NOT recommended
I purchased and installed a theme/template from the developer TemplateMela via the Prestashop Online-Store first time in June 2023.
That was a very, very big mistake.
WHY:
The theme isn't really foreign language-capable and only partially adopts the translations created with Prestashop's translation tool. Fragments in English always remain in the store, even though they should appear in German.
I can do whatever I want, it doesn't work
It doesn't seem to work properly with Prestasho's translation tool
And the worst part is, as an end user, you don't know where or how to fix it. In any case, this language chaos can't be resolved with the translation tool. You don't even know where it's located or how to get rid of it.
That was the first part of the drama, because I couldn't and didn't want to launch my store because of this language confusion.
After two years had passed, I tried again, this time with an upgrade of the existing theme/template.
At first, it went a little better than last time, but now...
Exactly the same thing again. There are still English language fragments left in the shop that absolutely shouldn't be there.
They helped a bit at the beginning. But there are still only nine incorrect translations left.
Basically, a small thing, and very easy and quick to fix for a skilled developer.
It would be a piece of cake for the developer of these templates to do this and it would take very little time, but NO they don't want that.
But now they're blocking me and being stubborn. Instead of helping me fix this little thing, I'm supposed to hire an external agency to translate these nine remaining words.
Exactly the same behavior as the first time in 2023.
My options were the existing translation tool, which I used to no avail.
So now I'm standing in front of an almost finished shop for the second time, like my first attempt in 2023, and I'm stuck for a whole nine words that TemplateMela refuses to translate.
Judge for yourself how petty, shabby, and customer-unfriendly this is.
No, I really can't recommend this, and I hope enough people see this.
One star is too much for something like this.
