Translations

Store custom product names and descriptions per subscription for multilingual customers

Translation overrides let you save custom product names and descriptions directly on a subscription. Once enabled, future catalog edits won’t affect that customer’s invoices.

Without overrides, Hyperline uses catalog translations when available, or falls back to the main product field.

Set a default for all subscriptions

Go to Settings → Subscriptions and enable Override product translations on subscriptions. New products added to any subscription will have the override on by default. Existing subscriptions are unaffected.

Enable per product

When creating or editing a subscription, scroll to the bottom of any product and toggle on Override product translations. A globe icon appears on the name and description fields.

The toggle only appears when the customer has a language set that differs from the invoicing entity’s language. When both are the same, the main field already covers the only relevant locale.

Edit translations

Click the globe icon to open the translation panel. It shows one tab per language, limited to the customer’s and invoicing entity’s languages. The Current tab (customer’s language) stays in sync with the main field automatically.

Templates

Templates show all available languages in the translation panel since no customer is attached. When assigned to a customer, the stored values carry over and the customer’s language is marked Current.

Precedence

From lowest to highest: default (false) → subscription settings → template → subscription product. A higher-level value always wins.

FAQ

I turned off the override, what happens to my custom translations?

Hyperline reverts to catalog translations (or the main field if none exist). Your custom values are preserved on the subscription and restored if you re-enable the override.

Why is the toggle missing on a product?

Either the customer has no language set, or the customer and invoicing entity share the same language, in which case no separate translation tab is needed.

Can I override translations on invoice line items?

Yes. The same globe icon appears on name and description fields when editing an invoice manually.
