Translator Solution Pack performs automated (machine) translation of products and saves the results to your store database for PrestaShop, OpenCart, Magento or VirtueMart platform.
The main benefit of our solution is keeping translated data in the store’s database. Followingly, the crawlers (robots serving Google, MSN, Yahooo etc.) index more stores’ pages and you get higher Google, MSN, Yahoo placement on the search engine results pages. This will hence bring higher amount of traffic to your online store. It means that you don’t need an online language switcher tool – which de-facto doesn’t improve Search Engine Optimization and doesn’t allow you to manage your translated website yourself.
Package includes the following features
- Translate product details via online services
- Comfortable editor interface for manual modification
- Notification via email when translations are missing
- Backup management for translated product
- No incorporated online language switcher control at your front-end
- Activity Log – you can review and manage what the module made

Management of translation
There are three modes to perform product translation:
- Bulk Translation – From the Administration side – (bulk translation can be executed by CRON – it is necessary to set long time for PHP script running = “max_execution_time”.
- One by one Translation – From the Administration side ( it starts with translation after you click on the button in administration. It uses AJAX access. You can’t execute it via CRON)
- The customer’s translation = From front-end. When the visitor comes to product page at your website and translation of this product is performed. You don’t need to manage the translation process yourself and watch for untranslated products.
