Create all catalog items in your store’s default language and then translate them into the additional languages your store supports.

Text for a short-text or rich-text properties can be translated when the property is marked as translatable in the product type. Some properties, such as the Base product’s Name, Description, and Long Description properties, are marked as translatable by default. New properties you create are not marked as translatable by default. When you create new properties you can decide if they will contain translatable content and mark them accordingly. Once you mark a property as translatable, you cannot remove that setting. See Create and edit product types to learn how to mark properties as translatable.

Note: The names of collections and the names of shipping methods are automatically translatable; there is no setting to mark them as such.
