In product configuration, a tab "DeepL translations" is available. We have to select fields which will be translated, source language (from which fields will be taken) and target language (to which translated text will be put). Ultimate stores can also select storefronts between which translations will be made.
It is also possible to mass-translate products using context menu on products list. Interface mirrors the functionalities of product card translations.
It is now possible to auto-translate products through CRON script. Products have to marked in add-on configuration, then script translates all of them using settings from add-on configuration.
Administrators can decide whether manual translation of products should be fast (but using a bit more characters) or optimal.
A new tab in add-on configuration has appeared, which tracks the limit of characters for current DeepL plan.
How would manual translation work? Is this just another setting in deepl or is someone actually translating the text then?
Hello Flow,
Both manual and automatic translations are done through Deepl API. We're just using different wording to describe different modes of translating:
- Manual translation refers to all translations done through admin panel - either for single product, or for multiple products at once using context menu.
- Automatic translation refers to translation of products done through CRON script running in the background.
We're now writing a more detailed documentation for Deepl add-on, covering all available options in add-on. We'll share it here once it's ready.
Vendor is able to type his DeepL API key and start translating products, only if his plan allows him to do so, or individual checkbox in vendor configuration is checked.
Add-on is now also fully compatible with latest releases of CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor.
Please, do not hesitate contact us if you have any additional questions.
After selecting categories and clicking "Categories translation" menu, you'll be able to select source languages and storefronts, just like for products translation.
