DeepL - Enterprise

DeepL creates almost perfectly translated texts in over 25 languages. With the DeepL plugin for saldia, your store automatically translates all product texts into all active languages in your online store!

 

1. Activate the DeepL app

To be able to use the automated translation, the saldia app “DeepL” must first be activated.

  • Open the following website: Kontaktiere uns
  • Write us a support message with the subject “Activate DeepL app”.
  • We will activate the app for you within 48 hours.
  • You will be informed as soon as the app is active.

 

2. Open an account for API access at DeepL

For the saldia app “DeepL” to work, we need an active account at “DeepL”.

  • Open the website​ www.deepl.com
  • Navigate to the menu item “API.”
  • Go to the “Packages” section further down on the website
  • Select the appropriate package and click on the corresponding button:
    • DeepL API Free (free)
    • DeepL API Pro (chargeable)
  • Enter all user data and create your DeepL account.

 

3. Copy your DeepL API key

An API key is required for communication between the saldia-App and the DeepL service. This is used for identification.

 

  • Open the website​ www.deepl.com
  • Log in with your user account if you are not already logged in.
  • Click on the menu item in which your e-mail address is displayed within a button (top right).
  • Now select the menu item “Account.”
  • Select the “Account.” tab
  • Go to the section “Authentication key for the DeepL API.”
  • Copy the API key (a long combination of numbers and letters).

 

4. Link your DeepL account with the saldia app

  • Open the administration interface: ​ Administrations-Panel 
  • Select the menu item “saldiaApps” in the navigation.​
  • Select the “Deepl Automatic Translations” app.​
  • Now add the “API key” from your DeepL account in the “API Key” field.
  • Select the “Save.” button.

 

5. Configure the saldia app “DeepL”

Determine which product fields are translated and according to which criteria. 

  • Open the administration interface: ​ Administrations-Panel 
  • Select the menu item “saldiaApps” in the navigation.​
  • Select the “Deepl Automatic Translations” app.​

  • Select the status that a product must have in order to be translated after saving.
  • Select the languages into which a product should be translated.
    • Example “All”: Every change you make, regardless of the language, is automatically translated into all other languages.
    • Example “English, French”: Every change you make in “German” or “Italian” is automatically translated into the languages “English & French”.
  • Use the checkbox to determine which product fields should be translated:
    • Translate product descriptions
    • Translate product titles. Important: When using “brand names” or “standard language” terms, the translation must be checked manually, as DeepL does not always translate correctly.
    • Translate short descriptions
    • Translate promotional texts
    • SEO name
    • Page title
    • Meta description
  • Click on the “Save” button.

 

6. Translate all existing products with one click

You have the option of translating all existing products in your online store with just one click, without having to open each product individually.

  • Open the administration interface: ​ Administrations-Panel 
  • Select the menu item “saldiaApps” in the navigation.​
  • Select the “Deepl Automatic Translations” app.​

  • At the end of the form there is a function called “Check and translate all products”.
  • Use the corresponding checkbox to configure whether DeepL may overwrite the existing translations on all products. Otherwise, only the product fields that do not yet have any content will be translated.
  • Determine the languages from which the current products are to be translated using the selection field.
  • Start the process to translate all products with the “Translate all” button.

 

7. Translate an existing product

  • Open the administration interface: ​ Administrations-Panel 
  • Select the menu item “Products.”​
  • Open the corresponding product.
  • Use the selection field to switch to the language to be translated.
  • Delete the content from all fields that are to be translated.
  • Save the changes.

 

8. Translate a new product

  • Open the administration interface: ​ Administrations-Panel 
  • Select the menu item “Products.”​
  • Press the “+” button to create a new product.
  • Fill in all fields with the required content and media.
  • Important: Only save when all texts, including in the SEO area, are complete.
  • Save the data record. This will activate DeepL in the background and all translations will be carried out.
