Providing e-labels in multiple languages ensures accessibility for consumers across different markets and supports compliance with European regulations. The e-label Translation feature allows you to add, edit, and organize translations so that users always see accurate product information in their preferred language. This article explains how to manage translations effectively, along with best practices to keep your e-label content consistent and up to date.
1. Find the translations tab:
2. Then, select the languages you are looking to publish. You can select all of them or just some of them:
Translations
You can translate your e-label information into 24 languages. There are 2 options to manage translations: machine translation and manual translation.
Machine Translation
Machine translation will make the standard Scantrust-provided content available in all 24 required EU languages. If you add custom content to your e-label (i.e., the product descriptions or an ingredient that was not on the Scantrust list) it will also be machine-translated, but you have the option to review and correct the translations before you approve and publish it.
Note: The machine translation feature will override any existing translated strings. If you have already translated some strings, we recommend you to use the machine translation for a single language instead.
Manual Translation
When choosing a manual translation, nothing is pre-translated. Even standard ingredients would have to be translated by you into every required language. You do have to approve the translations before you can publish them:
It is possible to download the translations into a CSV for easy distribution to translators, 1 file per language:
