What you’ll need to get started
The Login link for Locale (https://app.locale.to/en/)
The admin login information for Magento with access to read and write system integrations, and store configurations
Note: If you do not possess the correct credentials to access this information, please contact your system administrator or your Magento representative. Locale does not have access to this nor do we provide this information.
User login information for both your Locale instance, and your Magento instance
A trial account of Locale can also be taken for free by going to locale.to and selecting the “Get Started” button
Adding the Magento Connector to Locale
In order to add the Magento connector to your Locale instance, you’ll need the URL of your Magento instance and an API Access Token.
Start by accessing your Locale instance with your username and password. Once logged into Locale (instructions on that can be found here) you’ll see a Dashboard which looks something like this image below.
Select the Add Project button and you’ll be presented with the Locale App Store.
Select the e-Commerce option in the menu filter to the left, and select the Create Project button under Magento in the first row.
The next step will require you to enter the URL and Access Token of your Magento instance. Copy and paste the URL of your store (without trailing slashes) and the Access Token info
To find the Access Token information, see our article on Technical - Creating the Access Token
And that’s it, next you’ll select the languages for your project and continue with creating your Magento translation project in Locale.
Creating a Locale project with the Magento Connector
Once you’ve followed the steps above to configure the Magento connector, you’re ready to create a project.
Start by entering the source and target languages for your instance and selecting Add Project.
Make sure to use the correct Language variants when creating your project.
Locale will automatically calculate the number of words which need to be translated for your project
Your content can then be pushed for translation.
And show the status In Progress
Once the translation step has been completed, the status will update to Complete in Locale
And the content will be delivered into your Magento instance.
