Ecom and multi languages

Permalink
I have a site that has 3 different languages, they now want to add ecom to it I am using the standard C5 ecom pacakages and think have worked out out how to do the different products by putting them in the different folder of the internationization, but how do I get the single pages eg checkout, finished etc to use the current language?
Thanks in advance for any help tips and advice

Hi Chris,

Our eCommerce add-on does integrate with internationalization to a degree. The user's selected language and currency symbol should be carried over to the cart and checkout pages. The checkout pages should be not be copied into a language tree or moved-- they should be located directly under Home / the top level of the sitemap, as they are installed.

Product names and descriptions, however, are attached to the products you've set up in your dashboard. As such they are not translated like a typical page would be in eCommerce. If you want to show product descriptions in a different language, I recommend making a separate product for each language. So you might have:

Cool Duck (English)
product page path: example.com/en/catalog/cool-duck

Cool Duck (French)
product page path: example.com/fr/catalog/cool-duck

Cool Duck (German)
product page path: example.com/de/catalog/cool-duck



And so on. Each would be its own product and would be associated with its own product page under the appropriate language tree.

Hope that helps!
