Configuration For Multi-lingual Support
Consequently, for multilingual support, the admin will navigate through Store->Configuration->General ->Locale Options.
Select the locale as German (the language into which the admin wants to translate his store content).
Translation
If a user wants to translate their module from English to German then they need to follow the path app/code/Webkul/Quotesystem/i18n.
In their unzipped Magento2 (Adobe Commerce Cloud) Quote System folder will get a CSV file with the name “en_US.csv”.
Now they will rename that CSV as “de_DE.csv” and translate all right side content after the comma in the German language.
After editing the CSV, save it and then upload it to the path app/code/Webkul/Quotesystem/i18n where they have installed Magento 2 on the server.
The module will be translated into the German Language. It supports both RTL and LTR languages.
Forthwith, the user can edit the CSV like the image below.
