We connect your shop to the DEEPL translation platform via an interface.
This allows you to translate your German product texts into other languages with just one click. The translation quality is outstanding, in our opinion worlds better than Google Translate.
How to proceed:
- in the product list in the admin the products to be translated
- or under "Utilities" select the content page to be translated
- select source and target language
- start
- you will receive a list of the translated products with a marker indicating whether the translation was successful or whether an error occurred (e.g.: no German text available).
The price is far below what you would have to pay for a translator.
In this purchase version you also need a DEEPL developer tariffwhich incurs additional costs (as of December 2021: monthly 4.99 plus 20 euros per 1 million characters. Only the characters contained in the source text are counted, i.e. the original text you want to translate. Invisible characters such as spaces, tabs, line feeds etc. are also counted).
You enter the deepl API key via "Advanced configuration" - "Additional modules".
Note for Modified Shops: this module is also available in the MMLC from version 2.0.5.0, including free updates.
Version history
August 2020:
first version, possible languages depending on the installed language templates, maximum possible: German, English, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, in any combination. Currently, English is translated non-specifically (i.e. not specifically American or British). Description and short description are translated, not the product name.
September 2020:
You can now translate into all target languages that Deepl offers, whereby we fetch English as British English and Portuguese as European Portuguese (i.e. not Brazilian Portuguese).
The target language can be saved independently of the available shop languages. In this way, you could, for example, use your English language template for Chinese and translate from German to Chinese using Deepl and save it in the English language template (which would, of course, overwrite existing English product texts, unless you duplicate the language template beforehand...) Often, end users do not need the entire shop in Russian or Polish etc., but only the product descriptions.
December 2020:
Now also with translation of order description, product name, meta title and meta description.
May 2021:
Configurations:
- Overwrite existing texts during import, yes/no
- Send deactivated products to Deepl, yes/no
NEW: Content Manager translations (own menu item), see images.
Note for Modified Shops: this module is also available in the MMLC from version 2.0.5.0, including free updates.
