Text and translation
The text tab is where all product texts and translations are added. Cultures in Norce is set up with a default culture, which will be used as a fallback culture when a text is not translated to a specific language. So when translating, inheritance means that Norce should use the default culture text. 
It's possible to disable the inheritance functionality so no fallback culture is used.
Available Text Fields
| Text field | Limitation |
|---|---|
| Name | 255 Characters |

| Sub Description | None |

The labels of the text field can be changed to reflect how it's used. Go to Settings > Client > Components (please note that this does not change the API).
Translations
Norce has two built-in translation providers.
- Google Translate, which is simple and easy to use
- Deepl (https://www.deepl.com/), an AI-based translation service, with support for contextual translations(*)
You can change your chosen provider here in the client settings (you must have your own API Key).
Both of these makes it possible to translate between two languages. Simply click one of the flags in top right corner to bring up the two languages side-by-side. Use the Translate button to use the translation function.
Note: (*) Deepl will provide context to the translation by passing in the original language "Description" and "Sub Description" fields. This will provide higher accuracy to the translations.
Translating and generating texts for many products at once
The translation described above works on one product at a time, between two languages, using the built-in Google Translate or Deepl provider.
To translate or generate product texts for many products at once, use AI enrichment in batch update instead. From the product list you can select any number of products and start a background job that either translates existing texts into several cultures, or generates entirely new texts based on AI instructions configured per text field. Every suggested value is presented for review before it is written to your products.
AI enrichment can work on all built-in product text fields as well as text and HTML parametrics, and it is released as an open beta. See AI enrichment in batch update.
Unique URL
The Unique URL can be set to Auto or Manual. The URL is generated automatically based on the product name, if it’s set to Auto. If Manual, this has to be manually maintained.
