Addressing Language Barriers With Translator for Magento 2

1. “Managing translations for our online store was giving us a headache.”

We had to manually translate everything – products, categories, and website content – which was taking too much time and money.

Solution:

Language Translator for Magento 2 turns your store into a multi-language marketplace. The user needs to install the extension, choose the preferred languages, and let it automatically translate the entire store – from product descriptions to checkout pages.

2. “Market expansion was taking too long.”

Entering new markets was a time-consuming process and we were losing opportunities due to the extensive translation requirements.

Solution:

Language Translator enables rapid market expansion by automatically translating the store content within hours. Businesses can launch in new markets quickly, with the ability to refine translations while serving customers in their native language.

3. “Professional translation services were taking too much time.”

With thousands of products and regular updates, relying on professional translation services led to delays, slowing global expansion.

Solution:

The extension offers high-quality machine translation instantly, eliminating wait times and enabling seamless, real-time content updates across all products.

What is AppJetty’s Language Translator for Magento 2?

As the name suggests, this extension is a Language Translator for Magento 2 store owners.

The plugin uses Google Translation API to fetch the translation. The translated content is editable, allowing admins to easily add, update, and delete content. The editing approach is WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get), so the pages will look exactly as you see them.

The translation is not only restricted to product pages. It can also translate meta details, CMS page contents, review sections, and more.

If someone has static data in different modules in one or multiple store views in the native language of their target audience, there is an automation process available. So they don’t have to translate the details whenever a new product is added manually. They can keep auto-translation on, and the tool will automatically translate the details of the new product.

Or, if a user wants to translate in bulk, they can opt for mass translation, and all the content will be translated. The app is not restricted to just one store; the admin can translate all their stores and make them more customer-centric.

However, if any significant changes require more data to be added to the translated page or vice versa, this app also has import/export functionality.

In short, Magento 2 Language Translator can do the following:

• Multi-language store translation
• Instant translations with console command
• Translate content using Google API
• Edit Google API translated content using WYSIWYG Editor
• Mass translate web pages, reviews, and meta details
• Database search & translation functionality

Features of AppJetty’s Language Switcher for Magento 2

The ease of managing translations makes the Magento 2 Language Translation extension better than the other plugins in the market. Here are some features of the extension that one must know.

1. Backend control

The Magento 2 language switcher integrates with the website’s backend. This allows users to translate the content in their preferred language using Google API from the backend. After translating the content, users can modify the final output. They can make the necessary changes with the WYSIWYG editor.

2. Translate every detail

The translator is not limited to web pages. This translation feature can also be used to translate other elements like product descriptions, category and review pages, meta details, blogs, and more.

3. Mass translation

The mass translation feature is important for Magento 2 store owners looking to translate their entire website. Multiple store fields can be translated to the desired language in just a few minutes.

The user can also enable auto-translate mode so that all the newly added product details in the store get translated, eliminating the need for manual translation. Moreover, the admin can manually mass translate products across multiple stores with a single click.

4. Instant translation

Even if the user has 100 or more CMS pages, they can translate all of those pages in one go. This tool allows the user to create translation batches, add the commands and inputs to the console, and then perform mass translation.

Users do not need to wait for the cron to run tasks at a specific time or date. They can translate the content whenever they choose.

5. Translation status

Magento 2 language translators can easily handle multiple batches of translation along with their status, mode of translation (console or cron), language to and from, and store view.

Users receive a detailed view of all translation tasks in the backend. They can add translation tasks to the queue for easy tracking. Additionally, the admin is notified by email when mass translations running in the background are completed.

6. Daily translation limit

The daily translation limit is an added safety feature that controls how much translation can be done in a day. With this feature, the admin can monitor and manage translation quota usage in real-time, which can help prioritize essential translations.

When the daily limit is reached, the remaining translation tasks are automatically forwarded to the next day. This automatic management helps save both time and money by eliminating the need to monitor translation volume constantly.

Steps For Creating A Multilingual Store in Magento 2

Step 1: Log in to your AppJetty account and copy the activation key from Downloadable Options.

Step 2: Go to the Admin Panel, click on AppJetty extensions, enter the activation key, select the store, and click on the “Save Config” button.

Once the language translator extension is activated, the next step is Configuring the extension.

Step 3: Go to Stores >> Configuration >> AppJetty extensions (left side).

Change the Activation status to “Yes,” enter Google API Key, set daily quota and safe limit.

Step 4: Next, select the language you want to translate your website’s product data, category data, CMS page, review fields, and meta data into. Otherwise, it will be translated into the current local language.

Also, set the Translation From button to ‘Auto-detect’ and the Translate Button Label to ‘Translate Now’.

Note: To translate the mass and newly added products, it is essential to select the Translate Language To and From options.

Ever wondered that a small virus invisible to naked eyes could wreath havoc beyond bounds? Yupp, you guessed it right – the Novel Coronavirus a.k.a. COVID-19. At first sight, anyone would only say this – the virus has disrupted lives. And nobody can deny that! Though this pandemic has positive sides too – improved air quality, reduced noise pollution, healing environment, one can’t ignore its widespread impact. 

Online businesses too are facing the brunt. Nevertheless, as Einstein said – “In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity.”, online business owners also have the opportunity to innovate their business operations. Wondering how?

Read on to know how you can prevent problems from arising in your business operations – especially the problems with delivery services and keep your business operations streamlined amid COVID-19.

Tips to Manage Deliveries Efficiently

Zero-contact delivery

In the times of this pandemic, everyone is concerned about the possibility of infection from Corona. Several ecommerce companies like Amazon, BigBasket, etc. have already started offering zero-contact deliveries. It is high time you also offered the option of Zero-Contact or contactless delivery to your customers to:

– Mitigate the chances of Corona spread.
– Win their trust and instill a sense of safety in their minds.

You can display this option for customers to opt-in on your product page or checkout page. You can also view the list of orders with the condition of contactless delivery along with specific instructions from customers from your backend for more efficient management.

A feature-rich plugin like Delivery Date Scheduler that integrates with your estore can help you step up to the occasion. Also, make sure that you take proper steps to ensure that the zero-contact delivery is seamless.

Coming soon: Our team of developers is working to add this functionality to our Magento 2 Delivery Date Scheduler. To explore more, click here.

Let customers select delivery date and time slot

With the lockdown scenario prevailing across various areas of a country, customers know better about their regions. And they have a better idea about when the lockdown would probably be over or relaxed and deliveries would resume – especially if they are in red zone areas. Even in other areas with mild lockdowns, they would know the fixed hours during which the administration might allow outsiders including delivery men to enter.  You can let them use this knowledge to choose a suitable delivery date and time slot with a delivery date picker to reduce the chances of delivery issues like delivery returns to a minimum.

Personalize customers’ shopping experience

By letting your customers add delivery comments regarding the packaging style specifications or the ‘Call before Delivery’ option, etc. This way, you can engage them better. 

Stay on top of order management

With a summarized view of orders and delivery statuses, stay on top of your customers’ orders. Keep your customers in tune with order statuses through email notifications or text messages using a feature-rich plugin.

Display non-working days and non-operative hours

To ensure full transparency, specify working and non-working days and display them on the checkout page so that customers not only get a clear idea of them but also place orders accordingly. You can also define operative and non-operative time-slots to make the checkout process even more transparent through a Delivery Date Scheduler. This will help customers choose the most suitable time slot from operative slots in accordance with the lockdown guidelines in their regions.

This will help reduce the chances of delivery issues like delivery delays, order returns, confusion, and miscommunication, or poor delivery experiences, or other grievances to a minimum. 

Offer Zip Code Validation

Zip Code Validation is a great way to ensure clarity and transparency for both the parties. When customers choose a delivery date of their choice from the delivery date scheduler and proceed to checkout, they would be able to check whether the delivery of that particular product is available at their address or not simply by entering zip codes. 

Further, they can also find out whether one-day delivery of a particular product is available at their address or not. Accordingly, they can decide whether to order the product(s). 

Thus, zip code validation helps avoid any miscommunication or issues like late deliveries, product non-availability, etc. and keep customers’ trust in your brand intact.

Manage grace period, cut-off time, and daily quota per customer

To streamline your delivery operations and mitigate the possibility of delivery problems or grievances, you can:

– Specify the min. count of days it takes to process several particular orders (grace period)

– Mention the point of time beyond which any order placed would count in the orders as the next-day (cut-off time)

– Add the maximum number of items a customer can order daily(daily quota per customer)
etc. on your store.

It won’t only help you add more transparency but also manage orders more efficiently and seamlessly.

Magento 2 Zip Code Validator

This extension enables the customers to check for the availability of a particular product(s) at their addresses by entering the zip codes of their regions. As an admin, you also can blacklist/whitelist zip codes from the backend, customize product availability/non-availability messages, zip code check label and button to enhance customers’ shopping experience.

Australia Post has recently made an official announcement stating that it will be replacing the eParcel Online parcel service with the new solution Parcel Send by June 2020.

Since the acquisition of Star Track by Australia Post back in 2014, Star Track had been running as an Australia Post vertical company.

However, from June 2020 onwards, Star Track won’t be functioning anymore as a vertical company. Rather, the new solution Parcel Send will replace it. It will give access to Star Track and Australia Post eParcel products. As per the Australia Post officials, “This initiative is intended to improve the security of the entire shipment process and delivery services further.”

So, if you have been using eParcel so far, it’s time you upgraded/switched to AusPost Parcel Send to continue availing Australia Post mail services beyond June 2020.

We would like to inform all our current eParcel extension users that we are changing the name of our current eParcel module from eParcel Online to Parcel Send in accordance with the Australia Post update.

Further, we take delight in informing and assuring you all that you don’t need to worry about the switch from eParcel to Parcel Send. As our Parcel Send (formerly eParcel Online) module is fully compatible with the new Parcel Send service of Australia Post.

We also consider it important to inform our Star Track module users that they would need to upgrade to our Parcel Send module as their Star Track module won’t be effective after June. Nevertheless, we will try providing all the assistance our users need for upgrading their current Star Track module to our new Parcel Send module.

For any kind of queries or concerns, feel free to drop us a line using our online chat on the bottom right corner and we’ll help you solve them all and make a seamless Magento 2 Australia Post eParcel switch to Parcel Send.
