You can manage global settings on the "Settings / Global" page.
At the top, there are commenting options that were described in the "Managing products / Comments" chapter. Please check it for more details on commenting feature.
Below you can manage:
- Shop language - this is the default language for the public website. You can manage more languages on the "Languages" page. Please check the "Managing settings / Languages" chapter.
- Timezone - this is the default timezone in which all the dates are based.
- Minimal credits threshold - this is the minimal credits amount when you'll receive an e-mail notification.
The default language on the website is english, but you can add your own languages and translations. You can translate the website to a new language by clicking on the "Add new" button.
On the "Add language" page you fill in the language name and the code and click "Save".
After the language is saved you click the "Edit translations" button to open the translations page.
On the edit translations page, you have to translate all the "Phrase key" labels which are in English to your language of choice. If you don't enter some of the translations the website will still work but not translated texts will still be in English.
To change the website language you go to the Global Settings page, change the language, and click the "Save" button.
After the language change, the website texts should appear in your selected language.
You can also translate product data like titles, descriptions, SEO data, etc. Open the product edit page on plr.pub and change the language at the bottom of the page.
After you change the language, you should translate the texts, and click the "Save" button.
The translated texts will appear on the webpage. If some of the texts are not translated, the english texts will be loaded.
If you think the translations provided by us aren't good enough, you have 2 ways to modify them:
- You can create your own translation with a different name and with the same language code. Your shop's translation will overwrite ours, and you can change it without worrying that something will break. The only downside is that you will have to enter translation values for all of the phrases from the beginning.
This is the recommended way, since there is no chance of losing your custom changes if we update the translations in the future. - You can edit our translations directly. This has the benefit of having already populated translations, where you may only need to edit a couple of phrases and leaving the rest as they are by default. This way, you won't have to enter the translation for all phrases manually from scratch.
However, this method does come with a bit of a risk. If we update the translation on our end, there is always a small chance you will lose all of your edits, meaning you will have to redo them again.
The choice between those 2 methods is completely up to you, as they each come with some unique pros and cons.
Your default user account has all the privileges to manage your system and a web shop. You probably don't want to share your account with your employees or users that will be your content managers. In that case, you'd like to create your own administrator users where you can define privileges on what they can and can't do.
To add a new user, open the Admins page on the plr.pub by clicking on the "Settings / Admins" sidebar menu. Click the "Add new" button.
After the new admin user is created, click on the "Edit privileges" button to define user privileges.
You can check and uncheck what the admin user will be able to do.
