Custom translations

Add custom translations to your webshop (extend the multi-language experience of your webshop)

Because of the fact that it's not possible to automatically install custom extra translation keys that can be added to a theme, we decided to offer another way to make use of these extra translations inside our "Berlin" theme, to make sure all our added text headings and other instructional text (such as USP-texts, banner texts, mission statement etc.) can be translated in all the languages your shop is offering. To get these text elements translated, some extra steps are needed. On this page you'll find instrcutions how to do so. The result of this is, that you can achieve maximum usability /ease of use for your customers in all languages.

Add your custom translations

By default on several locations within theme "Berlin" code is added to offer multi-language translations for headings, USP texts etc. A full list of all these elements that can be made multi-language with your custom translations can be found here.

To make this work, you need to add a set of extra custom "translation keys" in the back office. How to do this is is explained as follows. You can also take a look at this videotutorial (in Dutch, at the moment):
