Translations and Dynamic International Content

Once the locales have been set, you can add dynamic content and tag them with the appropriate locale to have Broadleaf display it when said locale has been selected.

Setting up a content can be done via load sql files or through the admin.

The default content (for locale 'en') has been added to load_content_data.sql. Since we are adding content that is not part of the default content we will be adding it to load_content_international_data.sql.

Dynamic Content Setup - Load Files

Category Data

Inserting the categories is broken down into two sections. We need an entry in BLC_CATEGORY_TRANSLATION and BLC_CATEGORY_TRANSLATION_XREF. The first entry defines the translation while the second one links the translation with the category. 

INSERT INTO BLC_CATEGORY_TRANSLATION (TRANSLATION_ID,DESCRIPTION,NAME,LOCALE_CODE,CATEGORY_ID) VALUES (2001,'Inicio','Inicio','es',2001);
INSERT INTO BLC_CATEGORY_TRANSLATION_XREF (CATEGORY_ID, TRANSLATION_ID, MAP_KEY) VALUES (2001, 2001, 'es');

Product Options

Inserting the product options is broken down into two sections. We need an entry in BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_TRANSLATION and BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_TRANSLATION_XREF. The first entry defines the translation while the second one links the translation with the category. 

INSERT INTO BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_TRANSLATION (TRANSLATION_ID,LABEL,LOCALE_CODE,PRODUCT_OPTION_ID) VALUES (1,'Color de Camisa','es',1);
INSERT INTO BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_TRANSLATION_XREF (PRODUCT_OPTION_ID, TRANSLATION_ID, MAP_KEY) VALUES (1, 1, 'es');

Product Option Values

Inserting the product options is broken down into two sections. We need an entry in BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_VALUE_TRANSLATION and BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_VALUE_TRANSLATION_XREF. The first entry defines the translation while the second one links the translation with the category. 

INSERT INTO BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_VALUE_TRANSLATION (TRANSLATION_ID,ATTRIBUTE_VALUE,LOCALE_CODE,PRODUCT_OPTION_VALUE_ID) VALUES (1,'Negro','es',1);
INSERT INTO BLC_PRODUCT_OPTION_VALUE_TRANSLATION_XREF (PRODUCT_OPTION_VALUE_ID, TRANSLATION_ID, MAP_KEY) VALUES (1, 1, 'es');

Product Sku

Inserting the product skus is broken down into two sections. We need an entry in BLC_SKU_TRANSLATION and BLC_SKU_TRANSLATION_XREF. The first entry defines the translation while the second one links the translation with the category. 

INSERT INTO BLC_SKU_TRANSLATION (TRANSLATION_ID,DESCRIPTION,NAME,LONG_DESCRIPTION,LOCALE_CODE,SKU_ID) VALUES (1,'Sudden Death Sauce','<Translated Name of Product>','<Translated Description of the product>','es',1);
INSERT INTO BLC_SKU_TRANSLATION_XREF (SKU_ID, TRANSLATION_ID, MAP_KEY) VALUES (1, 1, 'es');
