Multilingual Item Data

The connector supports multilingual product data. The name and description can be transferred to Shopware per language.

Basis

• The language mapping (Language module) connects BC languages with Shopware languages.
• The item translations in BC and the language-dependent marketing text serve as the translation source.

What is transferred per language?

BC source	Shopware field
Item translation (description)	name
Marketing text (entity text)	description
Item No.	productNumber

The transfer takes place as a language-specific update (PATCH) with the matching language header.

Web Name and Description are managed separately. Multilingual product names and HTML descriptions are available in separate areas on the Item Card.

Procedure

1. Import the languages with Load Shopware Initial Data and map them in the Language module.
2. Maintain the item translations in BC.
3. Enter the language-dependent marketing text (see Marketing Text & Rich Content).
4. Upload the item – the language variants are transferred along with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is required for the multilingual transfer?

The BC languages must be mapped to the Shopware languages in the “Language” module. To do this, first load the initial data and then maintain the mapping. Without a language mapping, no translations are transferred.

Where do the name and description for each language come from?

The language-dependent product name comes from the item translations in Business Central, and the long description comes from the language-dependent marketing text. During the upload, both are passed to Shopware as a language variant (PATCH with a language header).
