Multi-Language Preferences
It’s important to set up language preferences correctly for your website and NetSuite account. There are four language preference settings:
-
Company default language — Also called the base language. It’s set when you create your account, and all your system record information and data are stored in this language.
Note:You can’t change this setting after your account is created.
-
Website languages — These are the different languages users can use to view your website.
-
Website default language — This is the language your website uses unless you set up a different one.
-
User Preference language — This is the language your employees see in the NetSuite interface.

How to Edit Your Translations
Here’s how you can add, edit, hide, or delete your translations:
-
CSV Import — Use CSV import to add, edit, or delete translations. You can only use CSV import for items, commerce categories, and landing pages. For more information, see Importing CSV Files with the Import Assistant.
-
CMS Records — You can edit each commerce category, item, and page record directly, but this isn’t available for custom page types like blogs.
-
Site Management Tools — Manage translations for commerce categories, pages, and content, and export or import bulk translations from the Translations tab in Overview Mode. For more information, see Exporting and Importing Bulk Translation Content in Site Management Tools.
