How do I input ingredient translations?

Apicbase lets you input translations of ingredients if you have multilingual staff. This article shows you how to input the translations for ingredients.

• Manual: if you want to add a translation to one or a couple of ingredients, you can do this manually very easily. Go to your ingredient overview and click on the "edit"-button of the ingredient you'd like to add a translation to. 
  
  
  
  • Next, click on the abbreviation of your default language as you've set in your library settings to add a translation. If you want to know more about setting the translations in your library, check this article. In this case, that's English ("EN").
    
    
  • The fields you can translate are
    • "Product Name" (The product name translations will also be used in the packages when creating orders and counting inventory.)
    • "Simplified Product Name"
    • "Storage Instructions"
    • "Description"
    • "Composition"
    • "Shelf life"

• • Now you can fill in the translation of this ingredient, as displayed in the screenshot below. Click "Save".
    
    

• Through Excel: Imagine you want to add a translation to a bigger batch of ingredients, or even all the ingredients in your library. This is also possible. Go back to your ingredient overview, click "Import" and then click "Translations".

• Next, you can download a template where you can fill in the translations of your ingredients by clicking the highlighted link.
  
  
  
  
• The template will be generated in the Export section. Download it here.
  
  
• Below you can see an example of a translation file. Fill in the translations for the ingredient, and save the file.
  
  
• You can drag the file into the box or upload it.
  
• You will now see your translated file in the Import section.
