Internationalization


Multi-language projects can be complex. There's no additional fee for using multi-language features in Pageflex and in Four51, but there's typically a fee-for-service project involved. The project normally includes a translation (if there's no existing translation) and set-up.

These projects often require very detailed discovery. For example, what does the entire supply chain look like? The best scenario is that buyer, seller, and supplier are all working in the same language, but that doesn't always happen. It has implications for product set-up and auto-emails going to suppliers, etc.

And there are usually questions around currency as well as language. Does a foreign currency need to be displayed? Or even converted? What tax laws are relevant?

The only completed translation available in 2.0 is Spanish. The 2.0 architecture does make translation projects easier, but custom language translations require comprehensive scoping. 

With all that said, Google Translate should always be looked at as a simpler option. Here's a Four51 Storefront-powered site that uses Google Translate to display content in French and Spanish. You'll find the Select Language drop-down in the top-nav near the center of the page.
