To map source record properties in different languages to Guided Search dimensions or properties, follow these steps:
Identify the properties of your source database record that exist in more than one language. For example, the same set of logically related properties can exist in corresponding English and French versions, as follows:
Decide whether each source database property should be mapped to a Guided Search dimension or property. Dimensions refer to general categories of products and services, providing the logical structure needed for guided navigation and record searches. Properties provide descriptions of particular products or services; your application can display these descriptions when the user accesses the records to which they apply. For more information about records, dimensions, and properties, refer to the Oracle Commerce Guided Search Concepts Guide.
Note: Dimension names should be NCN-compliant.
Create dimensions and their dimension values, and map the dimensions and dimension values to the appropriate properties of your source database records. For example, create two dimensions, Books and Livres, and map the other, more specific, source database record properties to values of these dimensions, as follows:
Create Guided Search properties and map them to the appropriate properties of your source database record.
