How to create a translation setting?
Updated over 9 months ago

First things first, navigate to APPS > Translations > settings. Then press 'Add new translation'. In the translation settings you will be able to create a translation option.


Translate From:

Determine the store for which you want your data to be used as input.

Translate To:

Determine the store from which you want your data to be translated.

Which translation provider would you like to use?

Currently we make use DeepL default, DeepL informal, DeepL formal. Select the DeepL variant you wish to use.


Select attributes to exclude from translation

You have the option to proactively exclude attributes, and these attribute options are tailored to your Magento 2 installation. There are instances where it is beneficial to exclude certain attributes. Allow me to provide an example: If you have an attribute named 'manufacturer,' and your manufacturer is Apple, with products mentioning Apple in the description, you may prefer not to translate the manufacturer to an incorrect name of your manufacturer.

Automatically translate items in this job

This is the option to either make use of automatic translations or manual translations.


Automatically translate url key

Understanding your URL-key strategy is crucial. Enabling automatic translations on the URL-key may result in unintended errors. Magento prohibits the use of the same URL key twice. Elovate translates the URL key based on the existing URL key ('Translate from'). Here's a quick example to illustrate when to translate the URL key and when it might create a conflict:

Correct example (NL - ENG):

Input: kasten-opbergmeubelen/opbergkisten

Output: cabinets-storage-furniture/storage-chests

Incocorrect example (NL - ENG):

This issue arises because DeepL does not translate absolute URLs but can translate relative URLs. So make sure when translating URL keys to check what your URL-key strategy is.


Automatically sync items to webshop after translation

This option allows you to skip moderation and push translated content instantly to Magento 2.

Whitelist elements to translate in Magento Widgets

Allows you to specify which elements within a widget should undergo translation. Widgets in Magento are reusable components that you can add to your pages, such as sliders, banners, or custom blocks.
