What is Mergado Translate
Mergado Translate (formerly Ordelogy Translate) is an app for automated translation, mainly of e-commerce products using DeepL or Google Translate.
How Mergado Translate works
The translation itself is provided by DeepL or Google Translate. The user creates an account and sets up the connection. Mergado Translate provides automated sending of texts to the translator for translation. The received translations are cached. Thus, one text is translated once. This saves the client’s money.
Feature Overview
- Connection to export in Mergado Editor via API.
- Price estimation directly in the application to estimate savings and costs.
- You can limit translations to selections of products.
- Translates any elements.
- Choice of two translators: DeepL, Google Translate. You can use both.
- Transparent pricing. The user pays for the translators himself and can take advantage of any free bonus credits. The price of Mergado Translate is 100% transparent: 18 EUR/month regardless of the number of translations.
What Mergado Translate is good for
- Translation of products for import into the online store from foreign language data.
- Translation for the marketplace for expansion abroad.
- Translation for an advertising system that requires data in a foreign language.
- …and more
Why use Mergado Translate
- Automation. Saves work, makes money.
- You can clearly see how much you pay for the app and how much you pay for the translators. You don’t pay an overpriced rate to translate individual words.
- Integration with Mergado Editor. You can deploy without changing data feeds in advertising systems.

Mergado Translate - version 10 - Hungarian localization
2023-08-30T22:00:00Z
Today we released a new version of Mergado Translate, containing mainly a Hungarian translation of the user interface. We have also added a few minor improvements to the user interface.
Mergado Translate - version 11 - new core, category translation
2023-10-17T22:00:00Z
The upcoming release will bring two major sets of new features.
New core Mergado Translate
We have rewritten the core of Mergado Translate. The goal was to increase reliability and to allow adding new features in the future. Users will not see the new features in the interface. For example, they will notice that the translation rule will not "turn itself off ". Previous shutdowns were mainly due to outages on the DeepL and Google Translate side. Now, Mergado Translate will return an error when processing to Mergado Editor in this case. This will appear as a notification in both applications. The next time the data is processed, both applications will try to process everything automatically so that the error condition goes away. You may see the new error message, but you do not need to take any action. If you would like to resolve the situation faster, you can manually enter the export processing in the Mergado Editor. However, this is not necessary. The next time the automatic processing takes place, everything will take care of itself.
Translation of categories
We are now introducing the concept of “translation type”. The existing functionality corresponds to the “Text Translation” type. The text is translated as a whole and the type is suitable for most texts (elements).
The new translation type is “Category Translation”. The difference will be clear in the following example:
Examples of categories:
- White goods | Washing machines and dryers | Washing machines
- White goods | Washing machines and dryers | Dryers
The text translation type always translates the entire text White Goods | Washing Machines and Dryers | Washing Machines. The category translation type breaks the whole text into parts according to the separator (we now support the | and > characters). This creates multiple texts: White Goods, Washers and Dryers, Washers and each translated separately. If you were translating the second text from the example above, the first two strings are already cached. Only the text Dryers will be translated. Thanks to this:
- you save money on translations
- each category is translated always the same.

Mergado Translate - version 12 - user dictionaries
2023-11-01T23:00:00Z
The upcoming release will bring a number of minor improvements:
- We will limit entries in History to 3 months. Older entries will be deleted.
- We have added new warnings about some connection errors on DeepL and Google Translate.
- Now the connection name must be unique.
And the main news:
User dictionaries
What is a user dictionary? Think of it as a table with two columns. On the left is the text to be found and on the right is the text to be replaced. The goal is to improve translations in bulk. For example, if DeepL translates leather boots → leather boots, you can define a translation of leather boots → leather boots in the user dictionary. And thus improve the translations in bulk.
There can be more than one user dictionary. You can create a new dictionary either manually or by importing a CSV that contains two columns separated by a comma and text in quotes, see example:
"leather boots", "leather boots"
" different translation ", " better translation "
User dictionary is “turned on” in the translation by selecting it in the translation rule!
Future prospects
The current handling of user dictionaries is seen as a stepping stone for further improvements. We would like to improve both the way they are used and their capabilities. This will however be the subject of future releases.

Mergado Translate - version 14 - charts
2024-02-20T23:00:00Z
We have deployed a new version of Mergado Translate. The most visible improvement is the new charts on the Rules page. These show the proportion of items machine translated and manually approved in the pie chart or new translations by day in the chart on the right.
Improvements overview
- New charts on the Rules page, see above. The purpose of the charts is to provide a quick overview of where the project stands, in terms of translations.
- If a user deletes a Mergado Translate rule in the Mergado Editor, this rule is also deleted directly in Mergado Translate.
- On the Translations page, we can sort the items in the click-through to the individual translations.
- Fixes to interface, broken links, etc.
- New dashboards in which we, the administrators, monitor the performance of the application.
Preview of new charts
May the news serve you well @group_translate.
Mergado Translate - 15th version - price localization
2024-02-20T23:00:00Z
The new version of Mergado Translate will bring price localization and a number of other user interface improvements.
Overview of improvements
- Price localization. This is the third type of Mergado Translate rules in addition to long text and category localization. On input, this rule expects a number (e.g. the PRICE_VAT element). The user sets the input and output currency. Optionally, the user can also set the currency code or rounding of the output price. The aim is to simplify the localization process. Until now it was possible to localize prices in Mergado Editor, but using more rules. Now in Mergado Translate, a single rule is sufficient.
- On the Translations page, bulk actions have been added.
- We now store records of user activity. In the future, it will be possible to generate reports on user work from this data. For now, we mainly store this information.
- Improved translation service error messages. Our support can more easily advise you why a given translator does not act as you would expect if it does.
- %A number of minor improvements and fixes to the user interface.

Mergado Translate - version 16 - price localization improvements
2024-04-09T22:00:00Z
We have released a new version of Mergado Translate. It contains improvements, mainly price localization or translation preview.
Overview of improvements
- We have improved price localization:
- You can now set whether the output price should contain a decimal point.
- You can now set whether the output price should be entered as a number only, or whether the currency code should also be added to the number.
- We have added a translation test. When creating a new translation rule, after filling in the information, you can right click to generate a preview of the output translations. This will give you a better overview of the result before the translation of all selected items starts.

Mergado Translate - 16.1 version - speeding up translations
2024-07-07T22:00:00Z
We have released a new version of Mergado Translate. With Mergado Editor speeding up, Mergado Translate may have been overloaded in recent weeks. This release should address the situation. 
Mergado Translate - 17 version - force translations from link
2024-10-01T22:00:00Z
We have now added the Force translations from connected service feature to Mergado Translate. How does it help you? By default, Mergado Translate draws translations from the global cache. This has a number of advantages. For example, translations are faster. When you translate the same text in multiple Mergado Editor projects, you only pay for the translation once as well. But sometimes this is not desirable. The user wants the translation to come from exactly this single connection to the translation service. This is what the new checkbox is for. You can find it on the Rules/edit rule page.
May the new Mergado Translate enhancements serve you well @group_translate.
