Glossary

The translations can be handled from the back-office application from the Glossary section.

A glossary consists of

  • a glossary key (which is used in the templates contained in the shop application)
  • a glossary value for each locale defined in the shop.

Example:

Glossary Key Glossary Value Locale

product.category.cats

Katzen

de_DE

product.category.cats

Cats

en_US

product.category.cats

Chats

fr_FR

Next, we will help you create this glossary key together with the corresponding values for each locale.

When creating or updating a glossary key, the changes are persisted in the back-end database. The changes are available in the shop UI after the client data storage is updated (either by manually running the update storage command or after the cronjob that does this update was executed.
