Translate your product finder in 7 steps
Do you want customers in different countries to use your product finder? In Aiden, you can select the desired language for each product finder . Currently we support the following languages: Dutch, English, German, Danish, French, Italian and Spanish. Selecting a language affects the default texts of product finder, such as the "Next" and "Start over" buttons. You determine the questions, answers and other texts yourself in Conversation.
If you want to publish a product finder in multiple languages, we recommend that you finish it in one language first, then copy and translate the product finder .
Read the step-by-step guide below for detailed instructions. Or use the quick checklist.
❗Do you use import settings in Catalogue in your original product finder? Then make sure that the attribute and values match the original ones ór remove the import settings before replacing the feed.
