Translating categories, products, content, news and blogs in templates

If your site is available in multiple languages and you have your content, categories and products set up with translations (see 189), you can set your templates show the appropriate language version by using the following syntax.

 

Instead of –

 

<strong>[cname]</strong>

 

Use the following –

 

<strong>[translate cname]</strong>

 

This will show the appropriate translation of the product name depending on which language your customer is viewing the site in.

 

Note: Once an item is added to the cart in a specific language, it will remain in that language throughout the ordering process. This includes emails to both customers and merchants.

 

Only specific fields are dynamically translated.
