Best Practices for Attribute Mapping in Multilingual Integrations

Hi everyone,

 

I have a question about integration activities with the DW provider in a multilingual environment.

 

If I create an integration activity that updates an attribute managed in the main language (LANG1), and there are two languages activated (LANG1 and LANG2), is it necessary to also create a mapping for LANG2?

 

I’ve noticed that when I manually save a product after mapping only to LANG1, the attribute is automatically added to the LANG2 product record in the database.

 

What are the best practices in this scenario? Should both languages always be mapped, or is mapping the main language sufficient?

Hi,

 

We are moving away from implicit mappings / magic behind the scene. 

Depending on the provider used, it would be best practice to explicitly map all the languages needed.
