When you open the details of a previously translated rule, you will see the results.

The translated values are stored in EffectConnect under a new attribute, and we generate a name for it. You can modify this name using the pencil icon:

At product level in EffectConnect,  under the "Attributes" tab a new tab is added called "Translations" where you can find the translated attributes.



Translated attribute values

You can download the results as a CSV file and manually revert back to your original values if needed.


To make adjustments to the results, simply click on the pencil icon to change the value. 

Rule settings

You can modify these settings if you want to apply a new action to the same rule, such as adding a new attribute or translating more products. 

This rule applies to specific products based on certain conditions: 

  • Your catalog language
  • The chosen translation service
  • The source language
  • The target language

If you have more products in the future or manually adjust them, this section will show you if your current rule is up to date or if you can perform a new action plus the associated costs.



Completed actions within this translation rule
