# 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: I**n 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.

### Bulk Translations via Import Tool

Bulk translation updates via the import tool is available for products and categories. 

**For Categories:**

1. Prepare a file with columns: **Name**, **LanguageId**, and the text fields you wish to translate (e.g., **Name**, **Description**, **MetaTitle**, **MetaDescription**).
2. Go to **Import Tool > New**, upload your file, choose **Category** as the template type, map the columns, and start the import.

**For Products:**

1. Prepare a file with columns: **Name**, **Language**, and text fields (**Text1**, **Text2**, **Text3**).
2. Go to **Import Tool > New**, upload your file, select **Product** as the template, choose **Insert/Update**, map the columns, and start the import.

### 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.
- **Product Price Campaigns:** The campaign title and, if a landing page is created, the title, description, and meta fields can be translated.

**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.

A detailed article on menu translations will be available soon.
