What is AppJetty’s Language Translator for Magento 2?
As the name suggests, this extension is a Language Translator for Magento 2 store owners.
The plugin uses Google Translation API to fetch the translation. The translated content is editable, allowing admins to easily add, update, and delete content. The editing approach is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), so the pages will look exactly as you see them.
The translation is not only restricted to product pages. It can also translate meta details, CMS page contents, review sections, and more.
If someone has static data in different modules in one or multiple store views in the native language of their target audience, there is an automation process available. So they don’t have to translate the details whenever a new product is added manually. They can keep auto-translation on, and the tool will automatically translate the details of the new product.
Or, if a user wants to translate in bulk, they can opt for mass translation, and all the content will be translated. The app is not restricted to just one store; the admin can translate all their stores and make them more customer-centric.
However, if any significant changes require more data to be added to the translated page or vice versa, this app also has import/export functionality.
In short, Magento 2 Language Translator can do the following:
- Multi-language store translation
- Instant translations with console command
- Translate content using Google API
- Edit Google API translated content using WYSIWYG Editor
- Mass translate web pages, reviews, and meta details
- Database search & translation functionality
Features of AppJetty’s Language Switcher for Magento 2
The ease of managing translations makes the Magento 2 Language Translation extension better than the other plugins in the market. Here are some features of the extension that one must know.
1. Backend control
The Magento 2 language switcher integrates with the website’s backend. This allows users to translate the content in their preferred language using Google API from the backend. After translating the content, users can modify the final output. They can make the necessary changes with the WYSIWYG editor.
2. Translate every detail
The translator is not limited to web pages. This translation feature can also be used to translate other elements like product descriptions, category and review pages, meta details, blogs, and more.
3. Mass translation
The mass translation feature is important for Magento 2 store owners looking to translate their entire website. Multiple store fields can be translated to the desired language in just a few minutes.
The user can also enable auto-translate mode so that all the newly added product details in the store get translated, eliminating the need for manual translation. Moreover, the admin can manually mass translate products across multiple stores with a single click.
4. Instant translation
Even if the user has 100 or more CMS pages, they can translate all of those pages in one go. This tool allows the user to create translation batches, add the commands and inputs to the console, and then perform mass translation.
Users do not need to wait for the cron to run tasks at a specific time or date. They can translate the content whenever they choose.
5. Translation status
Magento 2 language translators can easily handle multiple batches of translation along with their status, mode of translation (console or cron), language to and from, and store view.
Users receive a detailed view of all translation tasks in the backend. They can add translation tasks to the queue for easy tracking. Additionally, the admin is notified by email when mass translations running in the background are completed.
6. Daily translation limit
The daily translation limit is an added safety feature that controls how much translation can be done in a day. With this feature, the admin can monitor and manage translation quota usage in real-time, which can help prioritize essential translations.
When the daily limit is reached, the remaining translation tasks are automatically forwarded to the next day. This automatic management helps save both time and money by eliminating the need to monitor translation volume constantly.
