Overview
In Elovate, translations are managed through the Translations app under Apps → Translations.
This app allows you to translate products, categories, CMS pages, blocks, and attributes into multiple languages — using manual, AI-assisted, or automated workflows.
Main sections
Inside the Translations app you’ll find four key areas:
Jobs – Create and manage translation jobs.
Moderations – Review and approve translated content before pushing to Magento.
Settings – Configure language pairs, translation rules, and exclusions.
Glossaries – Manage brand-specific or industry-specific terminology.
Before you start: translation settings
Before creating your first job, you must configure at least one translation setting.
To create a translation setting:
Go to Translations → Settings.
Click Add new translation.
Fill in:
Translate from – Source language/store view.
Translate to – Target language/store view.
Select attributes to exclude from translation – e.g., SKU, EAN.
Select how to translate URL keys – Leave as-is or translate.
Name – Internal name for the setting.
Whitelist elements to translate in Magento Widgets – Optional.
Click Save.
Once saved, you can reuse this setting for multiple translation jobs.
