How to Set up the Shopware Store for Poland in Polish

Step 1: Translation

Shopware is accessible in a variety of languages; if you’d want to contribute, you may do so on Crowdin by clicking here, which will take you to our Crowdin Shopware 6 page.

Step 2: Installation

Click Next after selecting the desired language from the drop down option. Because we choose Polish, the menu will be in Polish as well. Check that your system meets the system requirements and then click Next. Read and accept the basic terms and conditions before proceeding. Enter the needed database information and then click Next.

It is recommended that English or German be set as the system default language. If you speak a language other than English or German, proceed to the following step and install and activate the respective language plug-in.

Remember to set your default currency; this is vital since it is used as a starting point for calculating other currencies. After installation, you may change the language for the entire store in the Admin section. Fill out all of the essential information and then click Next. If everything is set up correctly, you should now be presented with the admin login screen.

1. Launch the wizard in the Admin console:

Install the required language pack and then click Next. This article will walk you through the process of installing the Polish language pack. Continue through the first run wizard until you’re finished. Make sure the relevant language pack is installed and active by going to Settings > System > Plugins.

2. Changing the Administrator’s Language:

If the admin login does not appear for whatever reason, you may access it by going to www.mystore.com/admin. The first run wizard will greet you. Because we choose English as the default language, the admin will be displayed in English. This will be changed to Polish in the future phase. Go to Administrator, expand it, and then click your profile.

Set the User interface language to the desired language and click Save. As seen below, your admin section is now shown in the language of your choice.

Step 3: Changing the store language

Until now, just the Admin section has been displayed in your preferred language; the webstore itself has remained untouched. We’re going to alter that right now.

Navigate to your preferred sales channel and add any nations that you intend to use under this sales channel. Set your primary nation, in this example Poland, as the default. If you wish to add more than one currency to the sales channel, add them to the currencies section and specify the default currency, which is Euro in this example. Change the available language to match all languages you want to show in this sales channel, then change the channel’s default language to Polish and click Save. If you have more than one sales channel, keep in mind that these settings only apply to the one you’ve chosen.

Changing the domain: We still need to make one more update to the sales channel in order for the shop to be shown in Polish. Scroll down to Domains, click the…, and then select Edit domain.

Check that the url is correct. Set the Currency, Language, and related Snippet as desired, and then save by clicking Edit domain. These options are required and only apply to this domain. Make sure that the domains for http and https are configured the same way. If you add other languages, you must create a subdomain such as www.mystore.com/de. For Germany, these require their own domain inside the sales channel, allowing consumers to choose the language from your store’s frontend. The mask will collapse, revealing the new settings.

Check that all previous settings under General settings and the Languages and Snippets specified under Domains are still visible, then click Save at the top of the page. If any of the preset translations do not fit your needs, they may be altered under Settings > Snippet.

Step 4: Tax

We need to alter the tax rates so that they are applicable in this country. This may be accessed by going to Settings > Tax.

Clicking on the… next to the tax rate you want to alter will bring up a new mask.

Give your tax a name, and then enter the Default tax rate. If nothing else is specified, the default tax rate serves as a backup. By choosing Add nation, you may establish a tax rate for each country. When you’re finished, click Save (4). In this example, we will set the tax rate for Poland at 23 percent.

We increased the default rate from 19 percent to 23 percent and included Poland and Germany. Adding Poland is unnecessary because the tax rate is the same as the default rate.

Select a nation from the drop-down menu, enter the tax rate, and specify whether the tax applies to the entire country, a zip code, or a state. When you’re finished, save your settings.

You will now see nations with their own tax rate added to the list. If everything is how it should be, click the save button.

Step 5: Adding custom pages

1. Footer navigation:

The first step is to add some categories, which may be found under Catalogues > Categories. Because the name will appear on the frontend, please use a name that specifies what material may be located in the area.

We create a new first-level category called Footer Navigation and then save it. We then create two subcategories named Shop Service and Information, which are added in the shop’s default language. The language is selected from a drop-down menu.

Now, from the drop down menu, pick the language you want to add. We can bypass the first level category, Footer Navigation. Select one of the newly introduced subcategories. The name is shown in a lighter shade, indicating that it has not yet been translated and will use the default fallback language. After you’ve finished translating the name, click save and go on to the next subcategory.

Now that we have our basic category structure, we must designate it as a point of entry for our shop. First, we must choose a Sales Channel, and then we must set the Entry point footer navigation. Select the Footer navigation that we just established from the drop down menu and click Save.

We are now ready to develop the store pages that will be shown in the frontend under the relevant area. Please go to Content > Shopping Experiences and build a new shop page to do so.

In this scenario, we will develop and populate the store page Shipping charges.

When you’re satisfied with your layout, save the page. Remember to use the button in the top right corner to choose between the languages you use in your business and translate them appropriately.

Return to Catalogues > Categories. Make a subcategory within one of the previously defined subcategories Informacja. Check to see if you’re working on the Polish language. Give this the name Kosyty transportu and apply the layout that we just constructed in the previous step. Make sure the subcategory is active and then click Save.

To ensure that everything is working properly, go to the frontend of your business and look at the bottom; you should see your newly generated pages there.

2. Landing page:

Please go to Content > Shopping Experiences and build a new landing page.

In this instance, we will develop and include the landing page Homepage.

When you’re satisfied with your layout, save the page. Remember to use the button in the top right corner to choose between the languages you use in your business and translate them appropriately.

To link the landing page to the correct category, we go to our Sales channel and look at the Entry point main navigation. This tells us where the consumer will enter the site, which category we should put the landing page under.

Return to Catalogues > Categories. Click on the category that has been designated as your entrance point. Change the layout to the newly constructed landing page, confirm, and save.

Please visit to the frontend of your business and check the landing page to ensure everything is working properly.

Step 6: Optional changing the demo data

1. Product categories and Products:

Please keep in mind that these instructions only apply if you have decided to install the Demo data. If you look at the frontend of your webstore, you’ll find that everything except the Demo data is in the appropriate language. To modify this, we must return to the admin area. Navigate to Catalogues > Categories and select a category to translate.

Choose the language you want to add from the drop down option, in this example Polish. The fact that the name is presented in grey indicates that it will revert to the store’s default language, which in this case is English. Enter the category’s translated name and click Save. The same is true for products, which must be translated or they will default to the store’s default language. If you utilized the Demo Data, you will need to translate something else.

2. Product characteristics:

These are still in English, as you can see. The Properties and Property values must be translated. To translate a property, click the… button on the right.

Choose the language you want to add from the drop down option, in this example Polish. The fact that the name is presented in grey indicates that it will default to the store’s default language, which in this case is English. Enter the property’s translated name and click Save. The same is true for property values, which must be translated or they will revert to the default storage language.
