Display Vendors on Category Page for Magento 2
Magento 2 Display Vendors on Category Page enables admins to select vendors for specific categories.
This is done through the category display settings under “Sellers Only” and an additional vendor grid.
So, only those sellers who have the products of that particular category in their product collection will appear on the seller’s (vendor) grid.
At the front end, when customers click on the category for which the admin option “Seller Only” is selected, and customers can view the list of sellers instead of their products.
And customers can even view the vendor collection page displayed on the category page by clicking on it. So, this extension will allow customers to view the list of sellers.
Important Note – This module is an add-on to the Magento 2 Marketplace module. To use this module, you must have installed the first Magento 2 Multi Vendor Module.

After the successful installation, you have to run these commands in the Magento 2 root directory:
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
php bin/magento cache:flush
Configuration for Multilingual Support
For Multilingual support, please navigate to Store>Configuration>General >Locale Options. And select your desired language from the Locale option.
Translation
If a user wants to translate their module from English to German, they need to follow the path /app/code/Webkul/MpShowSellerOnCategoryPage/i18n in their unzipped folder.
They will get a CSV file named “en_US.csv”.
But 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/MpShowSellerOnCategoryPage/i18n where they have installed Magento 2 on the server.
The module will get translated into the German Language and supports both RTL and LTR languages.
The user can edit the CSV like the image below.

So, the customer can view Sellers Collection Page by clicking on the ” View Collection Page” as per the below image-
