Translation Workbench and data translation setup for store data
Key Takeaway
To translate store data such as product names, you must enable two separate settings: Translation Workbench with your languages added, and "Enable Data Translation" in Company Information.
Store translation lets buyers of a B2B Commerce store see product, category, and promotion text in their own language. It depends on two separate org settings. After both are on, you can enter translations by hand on a record, or in bulk with files that a translator fills in.
What store translation covers
Store translation covers these kinds of text:
- Store data: product, category, and promotion text.
- Variation attribute names: if you use product variations, you can also translate variation attribute names into languages your org supports.
- Store component labels: a separate job that you localize in Experience Builder.
Store component labels follow a different path from store data. When you add languages in Experience Builder, some component labels are translated for you. Other component labels need manual translation in the component properties, or bulk translation with the translation tool.
The standard translatable data fields are:
- Product names and descriptions
- Category names and descriptions
- Promotion names, promotion display names, and promotion terms and conditions
