Introduction

The Prestashop connector from Locale allows you to select specific content from your Prestashop instance and quickly send it to be translated. By automating this process, you can quickly scale the presence of all your products into global markets. And by connecting it with your existing workflows, you don’t need to make changes to your translation provider, whether it’s a single person, a translation agency (LSP) or even an MT server.

What you’ll need to get started

  1. The Login link for Locale (https://app.locale.to/en/)

  2. The login link for your PrestaShop instance.

    1. Note: This is provided to you by your PrestaShop account manager, support team, or contact person. If you are unsure of this information, please contact your system administrator or your PrestaShop representative.

  3. User login information for both your Locale instance, and your PrestaShop instance

    1. A trial account of Locale can also be taken for free by going to locale.to and selecting the “Get Started” button

Supported resources

As of December 2023, we currently support the localization of products and their descriptions. Additional resource options may be added at a later date. For more information on this or to leave a feature request contact connectors@locale.to

Creating a PrestaShop translation project in Locale

To continue with this process, first ensure you have properly configured the PrestaShop connector with your Locale instance. Information on these steps can be found in our article Adding the Prestashop Connector to your Locale Instance .

  1. After adding the PrestaShop connector to your Locale instance start by choosing the source and target languages for your project and select Add Project.

  2. Locale will automatically connect to your PrestaShop instance, and perform an analysis on the content that needs to be translated.

  3. And you can choose where to send your content for translation, either a TMS, MT engine, or directly to a contact for processing.

  4. Once the content has been translated, it will be delivered back to your PrestaShop instance.
