Multilingual videos

If your store sells in multiple languages, you can attach a different video to each language for the same product — useful when you have voice-over content, subtitles burnt in, or completely separate ads per market.

Each Mediaverse media entry has a translations map that holds an alternative media ID (or URL) per language ISO. When a customer browses in a given language, the storefront picks the localised entry first and falls back to the default if there is no translation.

  1. Open a product → Media tab → pick a video.
  2. In the Mediaverse side panel, switch to the Other languages tab.
  3. For each additional language, either:
    • Pick a different media file from the library (for local HTML5), or
    • Paste a different URL (for embeds), or
    • Add alternative video sources (multi-resolution) per language.
  4. Save the product.

If you want to only show a video to customers in its native language (rather than fall back), enable:

Settings → Plugins → Mediaverse → Video → Hide videos without translation

With this on, customers browsing in a language that has no translation for a given video will not see that video at all.

  • The localised entry replaces the default one in the gallery, the cover, and the carousel.
  • Thumbnails are fetched per language for embedded sources where the localised URL differs (e.g. localised YouTube URLs).
  • For HTML5, you can also attach localised multi-resolution sources.
