Setup involves deciding if translation is required, who should translate, and if products have default translation languages.
Decide if translation is required and who should translate
For each language, the data steward decides if the translation will be handled internally (Translation in PIM Web UI) or externally (using an asynchronous translation service).
By default, the type is set to 'Translation in PIM'.
Setup is managed in the Web UI configuration section as shown below.
Decide if Products should be Translated by Default in a Certain Language
Similarly, the data steward decides if all products should or should not be translated by default in a certain language.
Setup is managed in the Web UI configuration section as shown above.
This default choice can be overridden for one or more products, as explained in the Translation Process 2 - Translating Specific Products topic here.
