Multilingual

The configurator is fully multilingual. If you run your shop in several languages, you can maintain all customer-facing texts per language.

What is translatable

Storable per language are, among others:

• a field's label

• the placeholder

• the option names of select lists

• the default value

• the info text of the help popover

• the label of the add button for repeatable sections

• contents of rich text and explanation elements

How to translate

1. Open your configurator in the Elements tab.

2. Switch the language at the top to the desired translation.

3. Enter the texts in the respective language and save.

This works exactly like Shopware's built-in tools (e.g. categories or products).

Default language and fallback

• English is the default language and needs no special marking.

• Mandatory texts (e.g. the field label) only have to be filled in the default language.

• If you leave a translation empty, the shop automatically falls back to the default language. So the customer never sees an empty field, but in case of doubt the default text.

Activation per sales channel

Independent of language, the configurator can be activated or deactivated per sales channel (see Plugin configuration). This lets you, for example, run an international channel differently from your main shop.

First maintain the default language completely, then add the translations. Thanks to the fallback to the default language, your shop remains fully functional throughout.
