Locale: Creating a Prestashop translation project in Locale

Introduction

The Prestashop connector from Locale allows you to select specific content from your Prestashop instance and quickly send it to be translated. By automating this process, you can quickly scale the presence of all your products into global markets. And by connecting it with your existing workflows, you do not need to make changes to your translation provider, whether it is a single person, a translation agency (LSP) or even an MT server.


What you will need to get started

  1. The Login link for Locale.

  2. The login link for your PrestaShop instance.

    1. Note: This is provided to you by your PrestaShop account manager, support team, or contact person. If you are unsure of this information, please contact your system administrator or your PrestaShop representative.

  3. User login information for both your Locale instance, and your PrestaShop instance.

    1. A trial account of Locale can also be taken for free by going to locale.to and selecting the “Get Started” button.
