Overview
In gaiia, each product is assigned a number of translation keys, such as "description" and "name". While these translation keys are internal identifiers, the translations bound to them are what customers see in various touchpoints, including the client portal, checkout, and invoices.
When you create a new product, only the base translation language will be filled out by default. You can manually enter new translations for each of the translation keys, based on your available languages.
The translation displayed is based on the user's account language preference, or the selected website language. If a translation for a given product is not available in the selected language, its base translation will be used instead.
The list of supported language is not currently editable by your organization. If you need to apply modifications to the list, please contact us.
Steps
Translations can be edited either on a per-product basis, or in bulk, where all products will be shown in one place for easy editing.
Product Translations can only be edited by users with the Product Catalog > Translations
permission enabled
Invoices are fixed in time, updates to a product's translation will not be retroactively applied. New invoices will use the latest translation, based on a customer's preferred language.
