What Are Multilingual Shipping Methods?
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
Creating multilingual shipping methods and descriptions is an important part of providing fully localized content to users. Sometimes, the names of the companies that supply shipping services are the same in many languages. However, you must localize the descriptions associated with each shipping supplier even if the shipping supplier name does not.
When you build a site that uses multilingual shipping, you can display shipping methods for all languages by using the GetShippingMethods method on the OrderContext object. To limit the displayed shipping methods to only those that match the preferred language of the user, use the GetShippingMethodsmethod. The System.String parameter contains the language ID to use for the language of the user.
