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.
-
To create a job in Business Manager, click App Launcher
, and then select , and click New Job.
- Click the newly created job, and click the Schedule and History tab. Set the necessary interval you want the job to run.
-
Click the Job Steps tab.
There are four steps for this job:
- FindPages - Looks for all the pages in the defined folder created for localization, and generates two output files used in the bulk localization process.
- 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 If you set a locale, the export uses date from that locale. If no locale is set, your the system uses your default locale. - ImportPageUnassignments - This job step imports content. Set ImportMode to merge.
- FtpUpload - A custom job step that uploads the content to be localized.
-
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.
-
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.
- Localize the content using your organization’s localization process.
