The Appjetty Language Translator extension implements Google Translation API in a Magento 2 store, allowing merchants to translate their website’s content into multiple languages.

Features

Due to the integration with Google Translation API, store owners can easily perform translation of particular content into a required language in the Magento Admin. After translating a piece of content, you can modify the text using WYSIWYG editor, which allows you to control how the final version of content appears on the storefront. Moreover, the extension doesn’t use IP-based language options, which ensures more accurate translation results. After installing Appjetty Language Translator, store managers can leverage a Magento 2 language switcher which is an integral part of the module.

Language Translator enables store owners to translate various types of content. After installing the Magento 2 module, you will be able to translate defined product attributes, category details, product reviews, as well as the information contained on CMS pages and static blocks to a preferred language. Moreover, the extension allows translating meta data, such as meta title, meta keywords, and meta description, from product and category pages.

By utilizing the Appjetty language translation module’s settings, you can translate a particular product, category, or CMS page details on a store view basis. Another possibility is to use the extension’s mass translation function to change the language of selected content fields in bulk. This way, admins can save a significant amount of time on handling some routine tasks. The Magento 2 module allows using cron or console command to mass update the web pages’ content.

To speed up the translation process even more, you can divide the translated content into batches. Besides, it is possible to set limits on the number of characters translated during one day to keep yourself on the safe side and not exceed the quota specified in your Google account. Moreover, Language Translator for Magento 2 provides necessary settings for quick search and translation of any symbols string from your web pages’ content.

As for backend management, admin users get a detailed view of the processing of tasks in the admin panel. Admins can track all essential details and status of each planned translation task on a separate grid.

In the following section of the Magento 2 Language Translator extension review, we will show you how the module works from the admin perspective.
