Multilingual product data: NL, FR, EN and DE from one source

Manage construction product data language-independently and publish consistent sheets in every language, without copy-paste or version differences.

The Belgian and European construction market is multilingual. Anyone selling in Flanders, Wallonia and beyond needs sheets in Dutch, French, English and often German.

Why multilingual is so error-prone

With a per-file approach it quickly goes wrong: the Dutch sheet is updated, the French one is not, and the German version is a year old. For technical products that is unacceptable.

One source, all languages side by side

PimLayer manages the data language-independently. Per product you see all languages side by side. Language-independent values, like a performance value, are entered only once.

  • Translations stay linked to the product
  • Language-independent values are not managed twice
  • Sheets and web content generated automatically per language
  • On every change, each language stays consistent

Multilingual sheets, automatically

The biggest gain is in publishing: PimLayer generates print-ready sheets in every language from the same source, optionally with a different logo per market or brand.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to your questions

How does a PIM manage multiple languages?

The source data is stored language-independently. Per product you manage the translations side by side, and the system generates sheets and web content in every language from that same source.

Do all languages stay consistent after a change?

Yes. Because all languages are linked to the same product, you immediately see what still needs translating and the information stays consistent.
