Export Elements for Bulk Localization for Page Designer

To speed up the localization process, export the localizable elements of one or more B2C Commerce Page Designer pages with custom jobs.

Before exporting any elements for localization, you must have a clear definition of which pages are to be localized.

  1. To create a job in Business Manager, click App Launcher App Launcher, and then select Administration | Operations | Jobs, and click New Job.
  2. Click the newly created job, and click the Schedule and History tab. Set the necessary interval you want the job to run.
  3. Click the Job Steps tab.
    There are four steps for this job:
    1. FindPages - Looks for all the pages in the defined folder created for localization, and generates two output files used in the bulk localization process.
    2. ExportPageLocalization -Creates the export page file.

      Configure the ExportPageLocalization export set with the file name of the file created by the custom job step.

      We recommend you use a Resource file type, but coordinate with your localization team to determine which file type to use.

      Note
      Note If you set a locale, the export uses date from that locale. If no locale is set, your the system uses your default locale.
    3. ImportPageUnassignments - This job step imports content. Set ImportMode to merge.
    4. FtpUpload - A custom job step that uploads the content to be localized.
  4. To run the job manually, click Run Job, or coordinate with your merchandisers and localization team to schedule it.
    B2C Commerce exports the pages in a .zip file containing one file for each page.
  5. Provide the content to your organization's localization team. You can automate this process through a custom job step.
    Keep in mind that the text in the files doesn’t necessarily appear in the order it does on the page. We recommend you attach a URL, screenshot, or other method of providing context when handing off the files.
  6. Localize the content using your organization’s localization process.
