Localizing System Tables

uStore tables can be localized for each language that exists in uStore.

You may localize only the Storefront or only the Backoffice tables, or both.

To localize system tables:

1.       In the Presets view, click Localization.
The Localization - Culture List page opens.

2.       Click the Translate  icon next to a language.

The Culture Sections page lists all available system tables of the uStore system that can be localized. The tables that have missing localizations for some of the text fields will be marked with the  icon.

3.       To localize a table with missing localizations, click its link.
The localization page for the selected system table is displayed.

The Culture Edit page lists all text strings that are available for a selected system table, their ID number and an entry field where you can enter text in the local language. That text will be displayed in the store instead of the default English text.

–      You can filter down the presented text string list by using the filtering option at the top of each column. To apply a filter to the list, click the Filter icon next to the required column header and select the filter from the displayed list. Some filters allow you to further pinpoint the desired results by specifying a value or a text string of one or more required fields in the records returned from the database. For example, the "Context" filter allows you to enter a text string to look for in the listed records.

–      You can sort any column in the resulted record list in ascending or descending order by clicking the required column header. Clicking it once will sort the list in ascending order; clicking it again will sort it in descending order.

–      You can display all unlocalized records identified by the [no localization] label in their Localized Text field by clicking the Show only items without localization button.

4.       All tables can be localized by simply entering new text in the local language. To do so, click the Edit link to the right of the text string you want to replace and enter the new text in the box that appears. You can also enter the text directly in the Localized Text column.

5.       If the record you want to localize contains several localizable fields, click Edit More… to open all the linked localization text fields and localize them as necessary.

If you need to localize only the Storefront or only the Backoffice, this list will help you identify which tables you need to translate.

Note that if you cannot find a specific tab in the Excel (for example tax definitions or document repository), you should first add one instance of that item (tax, document) through setup, and then download the Excel again to see the tab.
