So you have the same product with a different language name in the same CSV? Or do you just have the products once in that CSV and want to import them 24 times in different languages?

If you have different languages in the CSV, you can add the languageid to the CSV file and map it to ProductLanguageID column.

If you only have the products once, there is no need to import them multiple times.

Pls tell more about your use case so we can better guide you. I.e. Why do you need 24 languages? Will you translate the products to 24 languages?

Hi Nicolai,

I kind of simplified my case and I thought I would figure the rest out. But apparently I just made it less clear, apologies. I'll describe my full situation:

DW Setup:
25 languages:
--> 5 of which are used for 6 e-commerce language layers: EN-int (default), EN-us, NL, DE, FR & ES
--> 20 remaining are necessary for (pdf) assets. We've got the DAM License. The goals is that on an e-commerce product page pdf's are downloadable in all 25 languages.

Product info integration current status:

- 1 integration with the ECOM provider - Creates the products in the PIM Warehouse and assigns it to the correct groups in the default language
- CSV file  - headers contain product names in the 5 e-commerce languages:
Productcode;Product name EN;Product name NL;Product name FR;Product name DE;Procuct name ES;Submodule code;Price group code; (...)

Creation process:

1. Import basic information of product in PIM
2. Use Shared queries to add final information (workflow steps)
3. Publish to channel

Goal:
Step 1 Integration without unnecessary overhead. 

Product doesn't exist yet in other languages

Hi Nicolai,

Thanks for clarifying.

I only don't understand the following: " So in your case you probably are good with 6 ecommerce languages and then 24 website languages.".

How I understood it: a pdf is a product asset. It needs to be linked to it on the correct language. So my Italian pdf needs to be linked to the Italian product language layer in PIM. Therefore I need to create it. 

What is wrong in my reasoning and how do I do it correctly?

Hi Davy.

The PDF (I guess you mean Publications: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/swift/setup-project/guides/publications) is made of pages in a website. The website has a language (Regional settings: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/content/content/websites#3210), and on the website settings you define which ecommerce languages to publish on to that website: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/content/content/websites#3218

So when you create the actual PDF, it will be pages on the website and you can publish the same ecommerce language to multiple websites.

Makes sense? 

Hi Nicolai,

No I don't mean the publications. I mean assets like pdf's (e.g. Technical data sheets) that a customer can download. For example in the screenshot below it's visualised. (It's only missing a language-switch to change the download section to Italian or any other of the 25 languages)

Yes - that is product assets (aka EcomDetails) and they are attached to ecommerce language. 

If it is only assets like this one, you could maybe find a way to filter them by language that is a little easier.

You might be able to use Asset keywords to add a language code to the PDFs and then in the asset list use the keywords to filter out on the languages in the client

Thanks Nicolai

Hi Nicolai,

Let's say we decide to keep all the languages in PIM (26). Let's say I won't use your keyword proposal and I want to import a specific pdf and all it's translations in the correct PIM-language. So for example in the Italian language layer you'll see the italian version of the pdf.

Is it possbile to use the image asset-rules in combination with a scheduled taks to import those? When I check the image asset I can't define a rule per language, even though there is an option to checkout 'inherit across language'. When I save it and change to for example the Italian storeview, I can't define a different rule.

How would you do it then?

Hi Davy,

Yes .. there can be used a Pattern parameter, there insert the "LanguageId" as part of the pattern ..  eg. Filename "2448-0000_EN.pdf" would be matched with "{ProductNumber}_{ProductLanguageId}" .. implemented from DW9.14.6 ..

:-)

Cheers,

Justin

Hi Davy,

From release DW9.14.6, there are implemented feature in our "Assets checkin tool", to manage language specific documents

It is made, so there can be used a Pattern parameter, there insert the LanguageId as part of the pattern ..  

eg. Filename "2448-0000_NL.pdf" would be matched with "{ProductNumber}_{ProductLanguageId}", and insert the document on the Language "NL"

Hi Davy

Change the Inheritance Type from "Fallback" to "None".
You will get the non-default language image/document set on the product
Setup matched "{ProductNumber}_{ProductLanguageId}" as Justin and Søren describes.

It works!
