      Working with translations

      This article gives a general guide on working with translations thru out Merchant Center

       If your webshop supports multiple languages, you can manage translations in Merchant Center in a few ways. You can translate specific pages such as products, categories, or brands, or use the import tool to update translations in bulk.

      Here’s a quick guide on how to find and manage translations. Some areas also includes links

      Translating Products, Categories, and Brands

      Each product, category, or brand has a Translate tab to manage text translations.

      1. Go to the Translate Tab: In the Translate tab, you’ll see the default language text on the left and fields for the selected language on the right.

      2. Select a Language: Use the "Translation to" dropdown to choose your target language.

      3. Make Edits and Save: After editing the fields, click Save.

      Translatable Fields

      • Basic text fields and meta information can be translated for products, categories, and brands.
      • For products, additional fields with free text (parameter type: Text) are also eligible for translation.

      Campaign Translations

      The ability to translate campaigns varies by type:

      • Promo Codes: No translatable fields.
      • Cart-based Campaigns: The campaign title is translatable. Use the language selector (flag icon) next to the title.

      Note: A landing page can only be created if the campaign includes a specific product selection (not all products).

       

       

      Menus

      Due to it´s nature, menus can include predefined items (like category names) and custom links with text added directly in the menu. Translation methods may vary based on the item type.
