The dictionary is used for saving text snippets used on many different occasions. All MyCashflow internal texts, such as email notification contents, are saved in the dictionary. Here you'll learn how to use the dictionary in your online store.
In a single dictionary entry, you can save multiple text snippets, in which you can also use HTML markup.
All texts saved in the dictionary can also be translated into all languages for which there is a separate language version in the store.
The dictionary is used for translating the online store contents. In multilingual stores, all texts that appear in the store theme must be printed from the dictionary, so that their translations will be visible too.

Dictionary variables
In the MyCashflow dictionary entries, you can use variables that print changeable contents of your online store. By using variables, you can print e.g. the details of your online store or products.
Variables must be spelled in the dictionary entries by using only capital letters and separated by the underscore. E.g. PRODUCT_NAME
No spelling mistakes can occur in dictionary variables. Otherwise they will be printed in the customer area as such. Below you can see an example how variables can be used in a dictionary entry:
