In-app text and translations

Aptean E-Commerce • Article • 7/2/2025 •

As an admin user, you can use the IN-APP TEXT AND TRANSLATIONS tab in the e-commerce administration portal to customize the display text and provide translations for supported languages. This functionality allows you to localize user-facing content without requiring development changes.

To update in-app text and translations, follow these steps:

On the User management page, select IN-APP TEXT AND TRANSLATIONS.

The App Strings page opens.

In the Language field, select the required language in which the system should display the text. The available options are: English (United States), Spanish (Spain), Danish (Denmark), German (Germany), French (France), Dutch (Netherlands), and Swedish (Sweden).

The system displays information in the following fields:

Field	Description
Option ID	Specifies the unique identifier assigned to a specific user interface (UI) string in the application. It represents the internal reference used by the system to map text values displayed on the user interface. Example: Headings_AccountName refers to the heading label shown for account balance in the application. The Option ID field values remain constant across all languages, ensuring consistent reference across translations.
Text	Specifies the actual label or phrase that end users see in the interface.
