We have implemented a multi-language feature in our website, allowing customers to change the static content, such as labels, captions, and buttons, to their preferred language. The feature can be enabled by the administrator through the Control Panel. We have also incorporated the same feature in the Admin Control Panel and Vendor Panel of our Marketplace Solution.

The purpose of this feature is to provide administrators and vendors with the convenience of navigating through their respective control panels in their preferred language. By understanding and following instructions in their language of choice, they can efficiently access and operate the eCommerce portal. This includes managing product listings, handling orders, and performing other activities with greater comfort and ease.

Here is how the multi-language feature works in the Spurtcommerce Admin and Vendor panels:

1.   The Admin and Vendor need to access their language settings on their respective dashboards.

2.   They will find an icon that, when clicked, displays a list of available languages.

3.   They can choose their preferred language from the list.

4.   Once selected, the static content throughout their control panels will be automatically translated into their chosen language.

To incorporate this feature in the Admin and Vendor Panels, a "language" folder will be provided in the source code. These folders will be separate for the admin, vendor, and storefront sections. To enable the multi-language option in the admin and vendor panels, in addition to the storefront, administrators can select the relevant JSON file for each panel. Within these files, they can assign the equivalent word in the target language for each English word and save the changes.

By following these steps, administrators and vendors will have the multi-language feature enabled in their respective control panels, allowing for a more inclusive and user-friendly experience.

Having multi-language functionality in the Vendor panel and admin panel of an ecommerce platform offers several benefits:

Global Reach: Ecommerce platforms with multi-language functionality can cater to a broader audience worldwide. By supporting multiple languages, the platform becomes accessible to users from different countries and regions, increasing the potential customer base.

Enhanced User Experience: Providing a localized experience in the preferred language of the sellers and administrators improves the overall user experience. It allows users to navigate the platform, manage their accounts, and perform various tasks in their native language, which increases their comfort and understanding.

Localization: Ecommerce platforms often need to comply with local regulations and adapt to regional preferences. With multi-language functionality, sellers and administrators can customize product listings, descriptions, and promotional content to suit specific markets. This localization helps in building trust, engaging customers, and increasing conversion rates.

Expanding Seller Base: By supporting multiple languages in the seller panel, ecommerce platforms can attract sellers from diverse backgrounds. It enables individuals or businesses with limited proficiency in a particular language to participate in the platform, fostering inclusivity and diversity.

Streamlined Operations: In an admin panel, multi-language functionality allows administrators to manage and review seller accounts, resolve issues, and oversee operations efficiently. They can understand and respond to seller queries, reports, and feedback in the language that sellers are most comfortable with, ensuring smooth collaboration and operations.

Overall, multi-language functionality in the seller panel and admin panel of an ecommerce platform promotes global expansion, enhances user experience, facilitates communication and support, enables localization, attracts a wider seller base, and streamlines operations.
