Select the part of the current translation that you wish to edit:
- Theme Back office translations. The text visible to your customers when browsing you and your team from your store's administration panel.
- Back Office Theme translations. The text visible to you and your team from your customers when browsing your store's administration panel.
- E-mail template translations. The terms used in the default e-mail email templates.
- Other translations. This category is meant to disappear in a coming version. It contains expressions that haven't been identified as being from the theme or the back office yet.

Some categories have a second drop-down list, which lists the available themes. PrestaShop themes have their own strings, but can also have their own modules , PDF templates and e-mail and email templates. The drop-down list therefore enables you to choose which theme you want to work with.
Once your selection is done, click choose the language code of the language in which you wish to edit that category of translation and click on "Modify".
A new page opens where you can manage translations. It is organized into several sections.
Searching for an expression
At the top of the page, there is a search bar to help you find a specific word, sentence or expression that you could want to modify or translate. On the right, it indicates the number of expressions available in this section, and how many are not translated yet, in the language you selected.
Enter the searched expression and click "Search" to find it.
The expressions matching your search will be displayed below. You can either modify or translate it and click "Save" to save your changes. Clicking "Reset" will replace your custom translation by the official PrestaShop translations: either restore the initial translation if a translation was available or empty the field if no translation was available.
Browsing translations
The right column is here to help you browse through the various expression available in the category you want to translate or modify. It relies on what we call translation domains: each expression within PrestaShop is assigned a domain, giving translators more context, and making it possible to know where this expression is displayed in PrestaShop, and what it is about.
Modifying translations
A long page then appears. It contains the hundreds of available strings for that category, sometimes split in tens of fieldsets.
