Selecting a store and working language

VISUAL GUIDE · THREE SEPARATE SELECTIONS

Store, interface language, and content language

Check the storefront, interface language, and content language selections separately. None of these selections alone is a command for automatic translation.

The images show an English interface with sample store names and an anonymized account. The languages in the menus are listed by their original names, as in the actual administration.

Four data points to distinguish

Changing the menu language does not confirm that you have changed the language of the product or page being edited. Check the separate content language selection when available.

Visual display: selecting a storefront

On the dashboard, the storefront selector is located in the upper part of the workspace. On other pages, the selection or filters may be displayed differently; check the context of the page you are currently using.

Selecting one store does not prove that all records and settings are limited to that store only. Some content and templates may be shared. Before making a change, check the ownership and scope of the specific record.

How to change the administration interface language

1. Open the account menu by clicking your initials in the upper right (label 4).
2. Open the item showing the current language, English in the image (label 5).
3. In the submenu, select the language in which you want to see the administration menus and buttons.
4. After loading, check the menu names. Separately check the content language before editing it.

Selecting the menu language does not translate existing products and pages, nor does it confirm that the same language version is active in the record being edited. The Language setting in the user profile is also not a selector for the product language version.

The list of administration languages may be broader than the languages published on an individual storefront. The presence of a language in the list does not confirm that all of its content has been translated.

1. Confirm the seller and store

After logging in, review the seller name and the available context selections in the administration. If you work for multiple stores, select the one for which you received the task.

Open a known product or another appropriate record and check its ownership before making changes. If the selection is unavailable or the expected store is missing, request an account and permissions review.

How to select the content language version

In the displayed product catalog, the selector is the flag next to the search field. The open menu is titled The language of content. On other forms, the control may be located differently.

1. Open the flag selector (label 6).
2. Select the desired content language; in the image, English is selected (label 7).
3. Open the appropriate product or page and check the language on the form itself before entering anything.
4. Enter the content in the corresponding language fields and save the record.
5. Reopen the same record in the same language and check the saved text and public view.

Before changing the language, save the intended changes or preserve your own unsaved text in an appropriate place. Changing the selection may reload the page; do not assume that the text has been saved.

Example: you can use the administration in English while editing a Croatian product description. In that case, the interface language is English, and the content language is Hrvatski. For an English translation, select English in the content selector and edit that version without overwriting the Croatian text.

Not all fields are necessarily separated by language. Do not change prices, availability, codes, and other business settings as if they belonged only to the selected translation; check their actual scope.

2. Check the content language before entering text

On the editing page, look for the available content language selection and confirm the desired version. Check the title or description already displayed to identify whether you are editing the expected text.

For a translation, do not overwrite the Croatian version in a foreign language. Select the appropriate language version, enter the translation, and save it separately. Names, descriptions, and SEO fields may be part of the same language record, so review all relevant fields.

• Record which product or page you are editing.
• Confirm the selected content language.
• Enter the text in the appropriate fields without replacing other language versions.
• Save and reopen the same version for verification.

3. Distinguish shared and local settings

Multiple public stores may display the same content record in different languages. A change to shared content may therefore be visible in multiple places. A separate view on another domain does not necessarily mean a separate CMS record.

Do not assume that selecting a language changes only one region or that every field is translated. The scope of prices, availability, business settings, and other data should be checked according to the specific record and configuration.

If you need content only for a specific storefront, align your intention with the Connect team before changing a shared record.

4. Check the public result

Open the appropriate public domain and language version. Check the edited title, description, links, and other elements you changed.

If the result is not as expected, check the record, language, and saved values in the administration again. Record the public page address and the verification time so support can compare the same view.

• You are editing the appropriate seller or the shared record you intended to change.
• The public view is open on the appropriate domain and in the appropriate language.
• Other language versions have not been replaced with the new text.
• Links lead to the expected pages in that view.
