To upload the Product with its Material Description in other languages, the Product should exist in your system. Therefore, you have to first upload the Product in the Insert mode using the Data Workbench object: Product. In this case you may choose to import in any one language.

Thereafter, for the same Product ID, if you want to maintain the Material Description in different languages, use the Data Workbench object: Product Other Language in the Insert mode. Ensure that the External ID for each needs to be different from the External Key of the original Product that you uploaded and further, the External ID needs to be different from the External Key of the Other Language as well.

Example for importing the Material Description in two other languages

Product_ID: XXXXX
Language: DE
Material_Description: Beispiel1

External_Key : ZZZZZ (where ZZZZZ represent the External Key for the Product Other Language)
Product_ID: XXXXX
Language: FR
Material_Description: Exemple1
