Info
titleSupport with creating multi-channel Product Data

If you cannot prepare a combined multi-channel Product Data export yourself or if maintaining such a file manually is not feasible (e.g. due to too many products that change too often), please contact your excentos Project Manager to develop a suitable solution together (e.g. excentos can set up jobs to automatically download and combine multiple country Product Data feeds).

If a Display Attribute (attributes that are shown on the Product Card in the Recommendations e.g. the product description) needs to be localized, you can add a corresponding column in the Product Data with the original name followed by the language ("ATTRIBUTE" → "ATTRIBUTE_LANGUAGESUFFIX"). If the original column is called "description", then the column for the additional language must be called "description_de_DE", "description_fr_FR". The Workbench automatically uses the right column, when the corresponding language is selected (e.g. in the Preview or for Integration Codes).

Info
titleDefault behavior

Note, that if you are running your Product Guide, which you have not created yet localized columns for, the Product Guide will automatically fall back to the original default column.

Example:

  • You have prepared your Product Data with a default column "description" with English texts and an additional column "description_de_DE" for German texts and you use the field "description" as a Display Attribute.
  • When running your Product Guide now with German (de_DE) it will automatically use to the column "description_de_DE" 
  • When running your Product Guide now with English (en_US) it will automatically fallback to the column "description" (as no equivalent column for English could be found). 
  • You should only translate the display attributes. The attributes for the data binding e.g. "basket" does not need to be translated.

If you would like to have a different default language, please contact your excentos Project Manager to implement this.
