@ndre any thoughts? Thanks again.

Hi @ndre
I am looking at the Canada French project.
Is there a way to use the translation project that is unpublished i.e. less than 90% translated?

What I see is:

Catalog Filters Bar

And within that – Catalog Category filter (If I remove that, then those categories don’t show.

(I don’t see a “Product Sort Bar”, but I have a “Catalog Sort widget” in my “Catalog Filter Bar”)

You can adjust your Side Bar or Catalog Filter Bar through Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets

Oh there is that little checkbox! Thank you!

#4 fixed after I removed the translation and started over!

Hi @ndre ,

Here is a new pdf of the settings:
https://idlabprod.staging.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/General-settings.pdf

When I put the short code [show_product_catalog] (even though it did before), nothing shows up. When I change the short code to [show_products] then it’s fine. Could it be because I am using the Advanced Layout mode?

Hi @ndre,

1. It was more of a usability question, and wondering if I missed a step somewhere.

2. OK I will try that, thank you!

3. I tried to update the french main catalog page with [show_product_catalog] but it doesn’t get picked up. It works fine with [show_products] on both the main catalog and the translated page. I’m not sure what I did wrong.
Ideally I would like the catalog landing page in both languages to include the search and filter functions.

4. Here are the example pages:
French item: https://idlabprod.staging.wpengine.com/catalogue-2/item4-fr/
English item: https://idlabprod.staging.wpengine.com/en/catalogue-2/item4/

General settings: https://idlabprod.staging.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/General-settings-1.pdf

Thanks.

@ndre you can ignore the questions above. I’ve revised them and posted as a new post. Thank you!

Hi @ndre!

I was able to use the string translations. Thank you!

Some follow-up questions:

1) For some reason not all the strings showed up via Languages > String translations at first. But later after I made some updates within eCommerce Product Catalog Settings itself, more strings showed up. Any idea why this happens?

2) Now, the only remaining translations appear to be the search and filter text:
“Product Search”
“Sort by Newest”
How do I go about translating these?

3) The Catalog expects one top-level home for the catalog, currently that is set to my French home (with the [show_product-catalog], what should I do with the English home? I currently get this message:

Currently another page is set to show main product listing. Would you like to show product listing here instead?

All your individual product pages will include this page slug as a parent.

Yes
* Use the show_products or show_categories shortcode if you just want to display products or categories.

Thank you for your help!
