There are tasks required to translate your storefront into the required
languages.
Source Translation
To enable translation of the
source:
- Create language-specific folders (for
example, es_US).
- Identify images (for example, buttons)
with locale-specific text.
- Identify for translation only those
templates that are used in the storefront.
- Identify the JavaScript files where the
locale-specific text is used.
- Identify other product, category, or content images where the
locale-specific text is used.
- Translate these files and store them
under the folder previously created (for example, es_US).
- Run a full regression test and QA for the
localized content.
- Change the header or sidebar to integrate
a select box where the user can select the language to be used for a
session.
Content Translation:
To enable content
translation:
- Export content, category, or products.
- Translate the content, category, or products.
- Import the content and use Business
Manager for further editing.
- Translate name and description of shipping methods. These
values appear in the storefront during checkout.
