Does Cart2Cart migrate the languages?

Yes, Cart2Cart supports the data import of multiple languages to WooCommerce, Magento, PrestaShop, OpenCart and Shopware. To explore the full list of shopping carts supporting multiple languages import during data migration, visit the Cart2Cart Multiple Languages Migration page.

Cart2Cart offers the ability to map (but not directly migrate) languages from your source store to corresponding languages on your target store. To ensure a smooth data migration, it's essential to create the necessary languages on your target store *before* starting the migration process. This involves logging into your target store's admin panel and adding or editing languages within the language settings.

Here are step-by-step instructions for adding languages to some of the most popular eCommerce platforms:
