FaLang
I downloaded Falang because I needed it to use with HikaShop. It seems really good. There aren't automatic translations, apart from the basic shopping cart stuff which has been translated by a previous HikaShop user; you translate all the product information yourself so it's done properly as you want and Falang connects the two, or more, language versions. Magic! I had to contact Stephane once and he was helpful and friendly.

Skyline Nested Accordion For HikaShop
I was really frustrated after paying for this extension because the accordion didn't work properly and I assumed it was my fault because of some stupid mistake I was making or something I didn't understand about how to set it up. There wasn't much in the way of documentation. When I contacted skyline they wanted my login info to go into the back end of my website but when I said I preferred not to have them do this they sent me an updated version which worked perfectly. So I imagine if you buy the latest version there won't be any problems. I'm happy with it now, it looks much nicer than the basic HikaShop version did.

HikaShop
I'm so happy I discovered HikaShop. After failing miserably with a couple of other shopping cart extensions I was about ready to give up the whole idea in despair but luckily I decided to give HikaShop a go. The documentation could be better - in an ideal world there would be a simple, lynda.com-style video explaining how to get started - but the support forum was so helpful that I got myself sorted out fairly quickly. I'm using HikaShop Business edition with Falang for a multi-language shopping site and it was much easier to set up than I would have predicted. Tip to newcomers: following the setup on the Hikashop demo is a good way in, once you have an idea of the basics the documentation makes better sense.
So: good extension and excellent support - friendly, helpful, patient, seemingly always good-tempered - a pleasure to work with. I paid for the Business edition, partly for the extra features but also because I thought the developers deserve to get paid for their good work.
