·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

The SuiteCommerce Configuration record allows you to manage translations dynamically, making it easier to implement multilingual support on your site. This method is especially useful for minor adjustments to translated content in SuiteCommerce or the Vinson release of SuiteCommerce Advanced and later versions.

How to Configure Translations in NetSuite

To configure translation properties, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to Commerce > Websites > Configuration to select the domain you wish to configure.
  2. In the SuiteCommerce Configuration record, go to the Multi-Domain tab and find the Translations subtab.
  3. Add custom strings by populating the available table as needed. Refer to the Translations Subtab for further details.
  4. Save the Configuration record after making your adjustments.

Important Considerations

Be aware that certain fields are not translatable through the SEO page generator, including:

  • Meta Title
  • Meta Tag HTML
  • Schema Markup
  • Open Graph Tags and other social media meta tags

The default language and currency for your website will appear in place of any alternate languages or locales defined.
