Introduction & best practice
The language setup in Admin allows you to add translations for colours in your colour library, as well as for the following care instruction details: icons, layers, instructions, and materials. Using multiple languages improves communication between the brand and suppliers across different countries, makes it possible to add translations to the e-commerce platform, helps meet local labelling regulations, and ensures that colour names and care labels are available in customers’ native languages.
