Magento 2 Multi Vendor Custom Attribute

Customers will get a zip folder and they have to extract the contents of this zip folder on their system. After that, the extracted folder has an src folder, inside the src folder you have the app folder.

After that, you need to transfer this app folder into the Magento 2 root directory on the server as shown below.

If you have downloaded the module from Magento Connect then unzip the respective extension zip and create Webkul(vendor) then Custom attribute(module) name folder inside your Magento root directory as app/code/Webkul/Customattribute and then move all module’s files inside /app/code/Webkul/Customattribute/ folder in Magento root directory.

Once the upload is done, you can see the folders in your Magento 2 Root Directory.

After the successful installation, you have to run these commands in the Magento 2 root directory.

First command- php bin/magento setup:upgrade

Second Command – php bin/magento setup:di:compile

Third Command – php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

After running the commands, you have to flush the cache from the Adobe Commerce admin panel by navigating through System > Cache management as shown below.

For multilingual support, the admin will navigate through Store > Configuration > General > Locale Options and select the locale as German (the language into which the admin wants to translate his store content).

If a user wants to translate their module from English to German then they need to follow the path app/code/Webkul/Customattribute/i18n in their unzipped Magento 2 Customattribute folder and will get a CSV file with name “en_US.csv”.

Meanwhile, they will rename that CSV as “de_DE.csv” and translate all right side content after the comma in the German language.

After that, save it and then upload it to the path app/code/Webkul/Customattribute/i18n where they have installed Magento 2 on the server. The module will get translated into German Language.

It supports both RTL and LTR languages.

The user can edit the CSV like the image below.
