How to import Products with locale?

[Terence Ng]

Hi,

How do I import the products' name in Simplified Chinese?  From http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Handling+of+External+data, I cannot see a variable regarding to locale.

Regards,
Terence

This would be a separate import from the base product records. You will need to create content records with descriptions for the alternatve locales. I believe there are examples of this in the demo data, although I'm not sure if they are under the product or content component.

You may want to check:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Guide+to+OFBiz-i18n%2C++Internationalisation+of+OFBiz

I have added a subsection talking about the Product-specific i18n stuff.

Also, check the following demo data:
{OFBIZ_HOME}/specialpurpose/ecommerce/data/DemoProductI18nData.xml

which contains an example for Product.name and Product.description in
locales EN, FR and IT. You will need to add such Entities to your upload
file. Notice my remark on naming conventions for the entity IDs; using such
will definitely make your CMS-work easier.

Also note, that only ONE locale is related to the product as ProductContent
and the other Content entities are then related to this "primary content
item" using ContentAssoc with "ALTERNATE_LOCALE" type.

Further, don't forget you need DataResource entities for each of these.
Also, you will want to add the Product.longDescription if you are using
default ecommerce layouts. Otherwise your product detail view will look a
little silly ;-)

Finally, if chinese was the only locale you need the content in, you may
probably use the above mechanisms and just not add any "ALTERNATE_LOCALE"
Content.

Feel free to comment on the document mentioned above in order to help me get
that "readable" for a wider audience :)

Thanks & regards
