Efficient Localization Steps: Leveraging Contentful for Adobe Commerce
Localizing content, especially to connect to different customer bases, can be a tricky part of creating content-driven web environments. However, using Contentful in conjunction with Adobe Commerce can greatly increase the efficiency and effectiveness of this process. Contentful and Adobe Commerce work together to give content creators the ability to localize content for specific markets and customers without having to completely recreate the content for each location.
The first step in Contentful localization for Adobe Commerce is to configure the locale. Contentful allows developers to configure different content for each language. This means developers can localize content such as text, images, and videos without having to set up multiple content models for each language.
Next is to configure the location fields in Contentful. This can be done by creating a field set for each locale and then mapping the field set to the corresponding field. This allows developers to easily add new content to localized fields without having to create a new field for each locale.
The third step is to create language versions in Adobe Commerce. Each language version is a separate store page with localized product descriptions, photos, and other information. This allows store owners to create customized experiences for each language version, making it easier to serve customers in different countries.
Then, ensure that Adobe Commerce localized content and languages are properly integrated with Contentful. This integration enables localized content to be displayed when the customer selects the appropriate language settings. This also ensures that the Adobe Commerce language version is displayed correctly when customers select it.
Contentful has an app for Adobe Commerce that can simplify the content localization process even further. This app enables developers to manage the entire localization process with Contentful, including configuring locale settings, setting localization fields, creating language versions in Adobe Commerce, and integrating content and Commerce.
Following these steps will make it much easier to localize your content using Contentful for Adobe Commerce. Content creators can be sure that their content is correctly localized and tailored to the needs of their customers.
