In
the modern world the majority of online businesses are international
there
are a lot of reasons why of is happening – products can be
delivered to
any part of the world within several days and the procedure for
crossing borders is quite simple. So you need to adjust your store to
visitors from different countries. It is obvious that the answer to
the question “Is
It
Enough
To
Have
A
One-language Store?” is
“NO”.
In
order to build an online store that supports multiple languages you
can hire a team of developers who will do everything from scratch or
you can implement this functionality on your own. Interested? Then
keep on reading.
Magento
is an ecommerce platform that provides an opportunity to create
online shops that have more than one language. It is possible due to
Magneto hierarchy. When Magento is installed a new website, store and
store view is created. And a store view is responsible for displaying
a store in different languages depending on visitors
location or some other variable.
Usually
when we talk about Magento we think about problems that may occur
with its installations of Magento, website theme and language packs.
Fortunately, there are services like Browuse which can help to copewith all this problems. Everything is installed automatically it is
enough to select what is needed and click proceed.
When
everything is installed you can move to the
step of store views adding. It is done here: System
=> Configuration => Manage Stores =>Create Store View. Now
you will see a simple form that should be filled out, it consists of
the fields: name, code, status, sort order. (I will not go deep intothe details about each field, you will find information in thisarticle).
The
last thing that you need to do is to translate products descriptions
and texts of static pages into different languages. Names
of buttons, contact form messages, navigation messages, texts of
emails, or technical things generally, will be translated by language
packages.
Hope
you will find this information useful and you will be able to create
your own online store that supports different languages. Make your
business prosperous and successful!
