Are you ready to start the New Year right by increasing conversion rates and expanding your global customer base? We are too and we are wasting no time by starting with an upgrade to our purchase routine next week.
Please note Wednesday, January 7 will mark the launch of a significant upgrade to our standard purchase routine including a new feature that will translate the entire routine into 15 different languages. 2CO’s Product Development staff has been beta testing the system since mid-December and has experienced positive results; therefore, an on-time launch remains imminent.
The translation feature will provide customers one-click translations of our checkout screens as well as an option for you to point sales to a translated version of your choice, to better meet the needs of your primary customer base. In addition to English, purchase will be available in Traditional Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Slovenian, European Spanish, Latin Spanish, and Swedish.
If you haven’t had a chance to view the new system, you can still do so by clicking the beta links on the previous announcement. The system will remain in beta through January 6. We value your opinions and thank those of you who have taken the time to familiarize yourself with the system and provide constructive feedback.
Happy New Year and best of luck in 2009!

Hi,
Great feature really. Will you also release the updated documentation that would allow us to send the vendor to the appropriate translated page (language). Will it be the lang paramter or a new one ?
Thank you
Simo
Kind regards

The parameter is “lang”. The values are as follows:
da = Danish
el = Greek
es_ib = Spanish (European)
es_la = Spanish (Latin American)
fr = French
gr = German
it = Italian
jp = Japanese
nl = Norwegian
no = Dutch
pt = Portuguese
sl = Slovenian
sv = Swedish
zh = Chinese (Traditional)
We will be updating our documentation, but in the meantime, you can see these in action, by viewing the source on the previous article about these new purchase translations.

Will this be forced on customer IP’s like the currency?
So if I have a french IP will it automatically be in french or do I need to use the lang parameter.

Languages will not be automatically selected. Changing to a non-English language will require either the vendor passing the “lang” parameter or the customer clicking the language of choice.
Regardless of the displayed language, the customer will be able to select another.

I checked the payment page but the language list takes too much height. I am not sure a bullet point list is good. It was good the way the languages were listed as in the beta pages..

Just another feedback. The skip-landing parameter does not seem to work with the new version.
Otherwise, great job…

Hello Simo, Thank you so much for the feedback! The skip_landing parameter does work with these new version. Keep in mind if your testing this with a plug and play product that has an option associated with it, then it will not because products with an option require a choice to be made on the first page.
I would also like some clarification on the comment, “I checked the payment page but the language list takes too much height.” Where are you seeing this take up too much height? The languages are listed on the purcahse page the same way they were on the beta purcahse pages and should not be presented in a bullet point list.
