Localization

eCommerce allows localization for the following languages:

Locale	Locale key
English	en
German	de
Chinese	zh

The eCommerce application checks a user’s locale to display the corresponding language. If your eCommerce configuration doesn’t support the user’s locale, the eCommerce application will display English by default.

For elements of the eCommerce application that aren’t managed in eCommerce, maintain localization through Zilliant CPQ.

Before you continue

There are differences when maintaining locale files for eCommerce and for Zilliant CPQ. This topic covers how to maintain localization only for eCommerce.

Maintain custom locale files

The directory structure for locale files is mapped to how the Zilliant system retrieves files, then implements them in the eCommerce application. When managing locale files, maintain the directory structure. To update a locale, contact your Zilliant representative for a translation.json file and perform the following steps.

To maintain custom locale files in Zilliant CPQ:

From the left navigation area, select Administration.
From the top navigation bar, select Content Management.

Tip

If you don't see this menu item, select Open dropdown menu at the right end of the navigation bar, or select the left and right arrows to move through the navigation bar.
Select userdata > attachment > PortalSettings.
Select locales. All locale files are maintained in this folder, with subfolders for each language.

Note

If your system is new, create a locales directory with the following structure:
/locales/<localeKey>/translation.json
Replace <localeKey> with the relevant locale key.

Always validate if there are any markup errors.
