    There is a parameter that can be used to pick a language (localize) the payment page that registrants/attendees see when they go to pay with PayPal Standard. This can be setup by relocating a copy of the PayPal Standard payment gateway for Event Espresso 3 to a safe location and then making an edit. This ensures that this customization is not lost on a software update.

Ensure that you are running a current version of Event Espresso 3. You can see the changelog for Event Espresso 3 here:

Login to your WordPress site with an SFTP / FTP client. Cyberduck and FileZilla are free options. If you are on a Mac, then try Transmit.


Browse to this location:


/wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/gateways/paypal


Download a copy of the paypal folder to your computer


Using your SFTP / FTP client, browse to this location:


/wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways


Now upload the paypal folder there


Browse into the paypal folder that you just uploaded here:


/wp-content/uploads/espresso/gateways/paypal


Look for the paypal_vars.php file and open it for editing.


Around line 122, you'll see the following:


	$myPaypal->addField('currency_code', $paypal_cur);
	$myPaypal->addField('image_url', empty($paypal_settings['image_url']) ? '' : $paypal_settings['image_url']);
	$myPaypal->addField('no_shipping ', $no_shipping);
	$myPaypal->addField('first_name', $fname);
	$myPaypal->addField('last_name', $lname);
	$myPaypal->addField('email', $attendee_email);
	$myPaypal->addField('address1', $address);
	$myPaypal->addField('city', $city);
	$myPaypal->addField('state', $state);
	$myPaypal->addField('zip', $zip);


Change it to this:

	$myPaypal->addField('currency_code', $paypal_cur);
	$myPaypal->addField('lc', 'GB');
	$myPaypal->addField('image_url', empty($paypal_settings['image_url']) ? '' : $paypal_settings['image_url']);
	$myPaypal->addField('no_shipping ', $no_shipping);
	$myPaypal->addField('first_name', $fname);
	$myPaypal->addField('last_name', $lname);
	$myPaypal->addField('email', $attendee_email);
	$myPaypal->addField('address1', $address);
	$myPaypal->addField('city', $city);
	$myPaypal->addField('state', $state);
	$myPaypal->addField('zip', $zip);


Now you'll need to change GB (towards top of the sample code) which is the language code for United Kingdom (Great Britain) to your choice. These are available:

AU — Australia
AT — Austria
BE — Belgium
BR — Brazil
CA — Canada
CH — Switzerland
CN — China
DE — Germany
ES — Spain
GB — United Kingdom
FR — France
IT — Italy
NL — Netherlands
PL — Poland
PT — Portugal
RU — Russia
US — United States
For example, if you wanted to change the language to Spanish, then you could change GB in to ES.

Save changes to the file

You can then try it out for yourself by registering for an event in a different web browser than what you are currently using. This will simulate a public registration similar to if a registrant/attendee registered for an event.
