Add a language version to an existing storefront site
When you use the Create a new SXA site dialog box to create a storefront site with the Storefront site template, you can include one or more pre-translated languages in addition to English.
You can also add a new language to an already existing site that was created with the Storefront site template. When you do this, Sitecore adds a language version of each item from the template, and includes translated default content.
To add a language version to an existing site:
-
In the Content Editor, right-click the site and click Scripts, Add Site Module.
NoteDo not use the Add a Language script to add a language to a site created with the Storefront site template. Only use this method to add a language version to an SXA site that was created without Commerce Storefront modules. It will not include the translated default content that comes with the SXA Storefront site template.
-
Select the language or languages that you want to add and click OK.
The selected languages are added to the current storefront site.
-
Publish the changes to the storefront site.
Any changes or additions that you make to the site have to be replicated in each language version. For example, if you add a component to the English version of a page, no change is made automatically to the other versions of the page - you must add the component to each version. Default translations are included with the component, but if you make changes to the English text, you have to translate the changes.
