Translate discount code name

The names of the discount codes can be translated to any installed language.

On the Discount codes page you can select a language and translate any discount code name to the selected language, if your webstore is multi-lingual. Two columns Name will be shown, when the language is selected. The first column stores the discount code name in the default language (English), the second column holds the translated discount code name into the selected language. If in the second column you see a greyed out link Translate, this means that there is no translation for the related discount code. You can click Translate to translate the name of the discount code.

You can also translate any existing discount code name from its discount code details page. Locate the discount code you want to translate and click Edit. On the discount code page select a language into which you want to translate its name.

When you translate the discount code name it is presented in two columns. The first column holds the discount code name in the default language (English) and it is not editable, while in the second column you can provide translation in the selected language.
