Translations
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
The contents of your website pages (i.e., text strings) can be translated into different languages
|
||||
directly on your website.
|
||||
Your website is displayed in the language that matches your visitor’s browser. If the browser’s
|
||||
language has not been installed and added to your website, the content is shown in the
|
||||
:ref:`default language <translate/default-language>`. When additional languages are installed, users
|
||||
can choose their preferred language using the :ref:`language selector <translate/language-selector>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Your website is displayed in the language that matches the visitor's browser's language, unless that
|
||||
particular language has not been installed. In this case, the website is displayed in the
|
||||
:ref:`default language <translate/default-language>`. The visitor can still select another language
|
||||
in the language menu.
|
||||
The :ref:`Translate <translate/translate>` feature on your website allows automatic translation of
|
||||
standard terms and provides a tool for manual content translation.
|
||||
|
||||
Installing languages
|
||||
====================
|
||||
Install languages
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
To translate your website, you first have to add the required languages:
|
||||
To allow translation of your website, you must first :doc:`install <../../../general/users/language>`
|
||||
the required languages and add them to your website. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website -->
|
||||
Configuration --> Settings` and click :guilabel:`Install languages` in the :guilabel:`Website info`
|
||||
section. In the dialog box that opens, select the :guilabel:`Languages` you want from the dropdown
|
||||
menu, tick the required :guilabel:`Websites to translate`, and click :guilabel:`Add`.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Go to your website.
|
||||
#. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the **language menu**.
|
||||
#. Click the language and select :guilabel:`Add a language`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: translate/website-add-language.png
|
||||
:alt: Add a language to your website.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Click the :guilabel:`Languages` field and select the required language from the drop-down list.
|
||||
Ticking the :guilabel:`Websites to translate` checkboxes allows users to change your website’s
|
||||
navigation to another language using the language selector.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Click the :guilabel:`Add` button.
|
||||
|
||||
Repeat the steps for each additional language.
|
||||
To edit your website's languages, go to :menuselection:`Website –> Configuration –> Settings` and
|
||||
add/remove the required languages in/from the :guilabel:`Languages` field in the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Website info` section.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
- You might need to refresh your page to see the new language.
|
||||
- You can also edit your website's languages from the backend, in the :guilabel:`Settings`. Go to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Website –> Configuration –> Settings` and add/remove the required languages in
|
||||
the :guilabel:`Languages` field, in the :guilabel:`Website info` section.
|
||||
Alternatively, once the languages have been installed, you can add them from the :ref:`language
|
||||
selector <translate/language-selector>`. You might then need to refresh your page to see the new
|
||||
language.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _translate/default-language:
|
||||
|
||||
Default language
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the language of the visitor's browser is not installed on your website, the content is displayed
|
||||
in the default language.
|
||||
|
||||
To define a default language, go to :menuselection:`Website –> Configuration –> Settings`, and
|
||||
select a language in the :guilabel:`Default` field.
|
||||
When multiple languages are available on your website, you can set a default language to be used if
|
||||
the visitor’s browser language is not available. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website –->
|
||||
Configuration -–> Settings`, and select a language in the :guilabel:`Default` field.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
This field is visible only if multiple languages are already configured for your website.
|
||||
|
||||
Translating the contents
|
||||
========================
|
||||
|
||||
Once the languages have been added, you can translate the contents of your website. To do so, go to
|
||||
your website, select the language from the language menu and click the :guilabel:`Translate` button
|
||||
on the right part of the task bar to activate the **translation mode**.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: translate/translate-button.png
|
||||
:alt: Translate button
|
||||
|
||||
As a result:
|
||||
|
||||
- Text strings that have already been translated are highlighted in green;
|
||||
- Text strings that need to be translated are highlighted in yellow.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: translate/website-translation-yellow.png
|
||||
:alt: Text to be translated highlighted in yellow
|
||||
|
||||
You can then replace the original text with the translation by clicking the block, editing its
|
||||
contents and saving.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
- Once the languages have been installed, you can also translate some items (e.g.,
|
||||
the product's name and description) from the backend (e.g., in the product template). To do so,
|
||||
click the language code (e.g., :guilabel:`EN`) next to the text you want to translate (e.g.,
|
||||
the product name) and add the translation.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: translate/product-translation.png
|
||||
:alt: Translate product-related items.
|
||||
|
||||
- You can also :doc:`export/import translations <../../../../developer/howtos/translations>`
|
||||
to translate multiple items (e.g., product names and descriptions) in one go.
|
||||
This field is only visible if multiple languages have been installed and added to your website.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _translate/language-selector:
|
||||
|
||||
Language selector menu
|
||||
======================
|
||||
Language selector
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
To add a language selector menu:
|
||||
Your website’s visitors can switch languages using the language selector, available by default in
|
||||
the :guilabel:`Copyright` section at the bottom of the page. To edit the language selector menu:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Go to your website and click :guilabel:`Edit`.
|
||||
#. Select the block where you want to add the language selector menu (e.g., the header).
|
||||
#. Select the :guilabel:`Customize` tab.
|
||||
#. In the :guilabel:`Navbar` section, set the :guilabel:`Language selector` field to either
|
||||
:guilabel:`Dropdown` or :guilabel:`Inline`.
|
||||
#. Go to your website and click :guilabel:`Edit`;
|
||||
#. Click the language selector available in the :guilabel:`Copyright` block and go to the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Copyright` section of the website builder;
|
||||
#. Set the :guilabel:`Language selector` field to either :guilabel:`Dropdown` or :guilabel:`Inline`.
|
||||
Click :guilabel:`None` if you do not want to display the :guilabel:`Language selector`;
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#. Click :guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
You can also add the :guilabel:`Language Selector` to the :guilabel:`Header` of your page. To do
|
||||
so, click the :guilabel:`Header` block and go to the :guilabel:`Navbar` section to edit the
|
||||
:guilabel:`Language Selector`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _translate/translate:
|
||||
|
||||
Translate your website
|
||||
======================
|
||||
|
||||
Select your desired language from the language selector to see your content in another language.
|
||||
Then, click the :guilabel:`Translate` button in the top-right corner to manually activate the
|
||||
translation mode so that you can translate what has not been translated automatically by Odoo.
|
||||
|
||||
Translated text strings are highlighted in green; text strings that were not translated
|
||||
automatically are highlighted in yellow.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: translate/translated-text.png
|
||||
:alt: Entering the translation mode
|
||||
|
||||
In this mode, you can only translate text. To change the page's structure, you must edit the master
|
||||
page, i.e., the page in the original language of the database. Any changes made to the master page
|
||||
are automatically applied to all translated versions.
|
||||
|
||||
To replace the original text with the translation, click the block, edit its contents, and save.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
When a website supports multiple languages, the content is accessible through different URLs,
|
||||
depending on the language selected. For example,
|
||||
`https://www.mywebsite.com/shop/product/my-product-1` is the URL to the master page, in English,
|
||||
while `https://www.mywebsite.com/fr_FR/shop/product/mon-produit-1` is the URL to the French
|
||||
version of the same page.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
Once the desired language is installed, you can translate some items from the backend (e.g., the
|
||||
product's name in the product form). To do so, click the language code (e.g., :guilabel:`EN`) next
|
||||
to the text you want to translate and add the translation.
|
||||
|
||||
Content visibility by language
|
||||
------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can hide content (such as images or videos, for example) depending on the language. To do so:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Click :guilabel:`Edit` and select an element of your website;
|
||||
#. Go to the :guilabel:`Text - Image` section and :guilabel:`Visibility`;
|
||||
#. Click :guilabel:`No condition` and select :guilabel:`Conditionally` instead;
|
||||
#. Go to :guilabel:`Languages` to configure the condition(s) to apply by selecting
|
||||
:guilabel:`Visible for` or :guilabel:`Hidden for`, and click :guilabel:`Choose a record` to
|
||||
decide which languages are impacted.
