Product resources

A subscription to a service plan allows a customer to use your service for a certain period. Usually, a service plan includes resources — entities that define what exactly is available for a customer within a subscription and its quantity. However, it is possible to have a service plan without any resources.

Multilingual product description

If you select several languages for product description (see View and update the vendor profile), you can enter information in every language using additional fields. Distributors in your product distribution network will get your product in the individually selected languages (see Add distributors). If a product does not have the description in the distributor language, during publication (see Publish a product), the English version will be used instead.

To enter information in several languages:

  1. Next to a field, click the language tag. The Select language menu is displayed.



  2. In the menu, select the language that you want to use for the description of this product additionally to English. To select all languages, click Show all. The selected language in the menu is displayed in bold. English is mandatory and selected by default.
  3. To hide the Select language menu, click the language tag. The page now includes multiple textual fields with the corresponding language tags.



  4. When you enter information in a field:
    1. Fill in the field with the EN tag.

    2. Repeat the step for this field in other languages.
