¿Cómo usar el gestor de localización en PrestaShop 1.7 de la mejor manera?

People's shopping habits gradually change over time, especially in the age of modern technology and the complicated developments of the COVID 19 epidemic. Online shopping has almost become extremely popular with almost everyone of all ages.

International procurement is also growing. Instead of going to the store, buyers can sit at home to choose, order the product they like from stores in other countries easily.

However, one of the barriers to international procurement is language. Many people want to buy products from other countries but do not know the language. They find difficulties in accessing products, ordering, paying, complicated returns processes, etc.

Because of these things, online buyers are more likely to abandon their cart and hunt for a more user-friendly website. So, is there any way to make international trade more accessible, closer to everyone?

If you are running an online store on the PrestaShop platform, surely you are well aware of this. Localization manager on PrestaShop 1.7 provides over 75 available languages and good practices for International & Localization managers that you can choose and set up for your store. Thereby, when customers visit your website, they can choose language and even currency for easy checking and comparison.

However, there is a minus point that PrestaShop only supports translating the default text available, the other information that you add will not be translated.

So how to get global customers and help your websites be more accessible to them? The answer is we need to have smart and friendly translate PrestaShop tools.

What can we look for in professional translate PrestaShop tools?

We need additional plugins for the International & Localization manager to achieve international success quickly. A great translation tool is not only a useful tool, helping you effectively in your work, but also an easy-to-use (user-friendly) tool.

Let's figure out some key points of the right translation tools and the advantages they can bring to you and your customers.

• Easy to use (user-friendly): not all customers are good at technology, so a user-friendly tool will be suitable for everyone.

• Quick response and accurate result: one of the most important things about a translation tool is not only fast translation but also accurate translation. No one wants to wait too long when switching the language of a website. Or they will leave when they read translations of product information that they feel are not quite right.

• Wide possible working ranges in the website: On a web page, in addition to the default PrestaShop text, there is a lot of information that you add or even images with text, it would be great if there is a translation tool that could translate all these things.

• Improve SEO ranking: A user-friendly website will have more searches and will definitely be prioritized, thereby improving SEO ranking.
