To provide a more consistent language experience, Optimizely Configured Commerce allows translation of both product variants and attributes to display the chosen language. 

## Change language for variants

The following steps assume the variants already exist. For information on setting up variant types, see the [Product variants section](docId\:q8iUwjXrhTVXFVZO6xaQo).

1. Go to **Admin Console** > **Administration** > **Translation Dictionary**
2. Search for the variant types (**Source** value is "StyleTrait").
3. Click **More Options** and choose **Generate Records** to ensure all options are listed.
4. Click **Edit** adjacent to the desired Variant. Select one or more checkboxes to modify multiple variants and click **Edit** in the **Secondary Toolbar**.
5. Choose the desired **Language**.
6. Enter the translated variant name.
7. Click **Save** or **Save and Next.**
8. Rebuild the **Product Search Index**:
