Clonable's Magento 2 translation extension: for a strong internationalization strategy

Share

Expanding your online shop into international markets can be a challenge without the right tools. Magento 2 is one of the most powerful e-commerce platforms and is generally used by the large, professional webshops, but translating products, URLs and content across multiple storeviews can quickly become overwhelming, especially when dealing with thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of products. Clonable's Magento 2 translation module simplifies this process and provides automated solutions that ensure accurate translations, streamlined workflows and improved SEO performance. Compared to other tools or methods, Clonable saves an enormous amount of time and money. Find out in this article why Clonable's module, combined with Clonables broader capabilities, is the ideal choice for a solid Magento internationalization strategy.

Clonable offers more than just basic translation. It enables companies to:

• Automated website cloning: Quickly duplicate your entire site in a new language with minimal effort.

• AI-powered translations: Benefit from advanced AI models that deliver accurate and contextual translations.

• SEO optimization tools: Translate URLs, meta descriptions and keywords to improve your ranking in local markets.

• Comprehensive personalization options: Customize content for cultural nuances and specific audience preferences.

• Flexible internationalization domain settings: Easily manage subdomains, subfolders or completely new domains.

With these features, companies can expand globally, save time, reduce costs and create a strong online presence.

Many translation solutions focus solely on language, but Clonable is designed to address the full spectrum of internationalization challenges:

Seamless automation with human quality: Clonable combines multiple AI translation models to deliver 98% accuracy. For companies that want even higher standards, the AI proofreading tool refines translations to match your unique style and terminology, with results that are near perfect. And our dashboard allows human proofreaders to quickly connect the dots. In just a few hours, quality is already increased to 99% and with a little more effort, quality will rise to 99.5%

Cultural adaptation at scale: Clonable allows you to adapt content based on local norms. For example, German users often prefer formal communication, while Dutch audiences are used to more informal tones. Clonable lets you adjust these preferences effortlessly. There is also the ability to clone from British English to American English, for example.

Built-in marketing tools: Clonable enables international SEO without the need for language knowledge. For example, marketers can use the proofreading tool to include international SEO keywords in translations, ensuring optimal visibility in target markets.

Streamlined maintenance: Unlike many other solutions, Clonable minimizes maintenance efforts. Updates are simplified and everything remains synchronized across languages.

Personalization and customization: Clonable offers unparalleled flexibility with features such as:

• Translation replacements for specific terms.

• Substitution rules for automated adjustments.

• A powerful glossary for industry-specific terminology.

• Exclusion rules to exclude certain elements of translation.
