Language mapping

It can happen that the AEM langages codes differs from the Beebox language codes.

...

  • In the AEM administration, select Beebox Translation Console. 



  • On the right side on the page, press Settings then Languages Mappings.



  • Then, configure the AEM languages to map the Beebox locales.



    The Path indicator is an optional user defined input.
    If the user specifies path indicator, then the target path will be changed accordingly.

    E.g, for a site language as French (fr),

    - Source path: /content/geometrixx-outdoors-4/en/men

    - Target path: /content/geometrixx-outdoors-4/fr/men

    If path indicator is specified as fr_FR, the target path would be as follows:

    - Source path: /content/geometrixx-outdoors-4/en/men

    - Target path: /content/geometrixx-outdoors-4/fr/fr_FR/men

     

Info
titleIMPORTANT

Path indicator is optional and one time configurable. It is advised not to change it as we will be consedering source lang through path.

Once it is configured, translated pages will be created in the path configured.
