The Data Migration Challenge
Before utilizing our website, Asia Mint Collections employed an online service for item sales. Despite the platform providing a product export function in CSV format, which would have been ideal, we encountered a setback upon inspecting the CSV file – the images linked to the products (both the cover image and image gallery) were absent.
To address this issue, we developed a Python script utilizing the links for each product present in the exported CSV list. This script navigated the platform’s product pages, fetched the corresponding image links, and subsequently generated a new CSV file adhering to the WooCommerce format, now inclusive of the image links.
Upon importing this new file into WooCommerce, the images were downloaded and uploaded to our server, seamlessly associating them with each respective product.
A Multilingual Website
When designing many websites, the need to be multilingual has become inescapable. Asia Mint Collections is no exception, with the imperative to offer a fluid user experience in English, Thai, and French.
The decision to adopt the WPML plugin was a strategic one. It offers a robust and proven solution for enabling visitors to the Asia Mint Collections site to switch easily between different languages. Thanks to our solid experience with this plugin, we were able to create a fully translatable site quickly and easily.
WPML, an acronym for “WordPress Multilingual”, proved to be a wise choice for Asia Mint Collections, offering seamless integration with WordPress and effective support for the most commonly used languages on the site: English, Thai, and French.
Our experience with WPML has enabled us to overcome the potential challenges of managing multilingual content. The plugin offers a user-friendly interface that simplifies the translation process and enables centralized management of all linguistic aspects of the site.
In short, WPML proved to be the ideal tool for transforming the Asia Mint Collections website into a smooth and enjoyable multilingual experience. Our positive experience with this plugin reinforces its reputation as the preferred choice for those looking to extend the reach of their WordPress site to a global audience. If you’re considering making your site accessible in multiple languages, WPML could well be the key to a smooth transition to linguistic diversity.
