How do I setup multilingual products

Hi, when I go to add a product I don't see the translate tab so that I can add my product in the other language I have setup for my site.

Is there something I need to do in order for products to become multilingual?

1. Add additional languages (/admin/config/regional/language/add). I added German and French, with English being the preset default.

2. Set "Commerce Product" as translatable at (/admin/config/regional/entity_translation)

3. Edit the product type (/admin/commerce/products/types/product/edit) and set "Multilingual support" to "Enabled via Entity translation".

And... the only thing I want to translate is PRODUCT TILE. Can somebody point me in the right direction ?

Ok, this work it gives you access to a title text field. But when in the cart and you switch from one language to another, the translation do not follow. Investigating...

To develope Product Variation I have created some Products Types with "Term Reference" Field connected to a "Localized" taxonomy vocabulary.
The terms are correctly translated into entity and also when are showed as referenced term, but are not translated inside "Selection Form" of attribute cart.

Hello,

I read your article because I just installed the kickstart2 multilingual distribution. I added 2 languages (Italian, German) using

Home >Administration >Site settings >Advanced settings >Configuration >Regional and language> Languages

Then I went to
Home >Administration >Site settings >Advanced settings >Configuration >Regional and language> Translate interface > Import
and I chose the file it.po and de.po I downloaded from drupal translation repository.

I repeated the chose file for each selection: Built-in Interface and Fields but I didn't imported it for Drupal Commerce because I didn't know if in the Drupal core translation is also included Drupal Commerce group.

My questions are two:

1- Do I use the same it.po to translate Drupal Commerce group too?
2- Where is the entity_translation?

(in Home >Administration >Site settings >Advanced settings >Configuration >Regional and language> there are only these options
Regional Settings
Date an time
Languages
Translate interface
Countries
Multilingual settings)

Thank you for helping.

Never mind!
I'm very new to this work. I learned a bit of Drupal some month ago and I'd like to create a multilingual site without the bloating complication I met using wordpress.

I imagine that some strings of Drupal Commerce are already translated in Italian and German or other languages but I don't know where to find these too, besides the problem of translating the titles.
I can translate the content page of course but I don't like to translate all strings one by one.

Can you indicate me where I can find the already translated strings of Drupal Commerce?

Thank you very much for helping.
