Locale requirements
Use the locale column to show product descriptions in English and Swahili languages.
| Column | Data Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| locale | text | Specifies the language of the content provided. Each line item in the inventory file must specify the locale language. Two records for every product are required: one in English and a second in Swahili. These enable the storefront to display content based on the customer’s preference. For retailers doing business in Kenya: - en_GB for English- sw_KE for SwahiliFor retailers doing business elsewhere: - en_GB | en_GBsw_KE |
Storefront language minimum fields
To be displayed on the storefront, each product in the inventory file must include at a minimum the columns name, details, and remote_image_url in both languages. The following table illustrates the outcomes when you don’t supply the column names for both languages.
