Crash Course German for Onlineshops
In principle, German is a very precise and almost scientific language, but unfortunately, it can be a little complicated. There are two very specific features of German compared to English that was relevant for the translation of the Magento 2 language pack. (Which, by the way, are also common in other European languages).
The form of address
In German, depending on how close you are to a person, you can address them “Sie”, i.e. with polite distance, or “Duzen”, i.e. in a friendly manner using the “Du” form. Both forms entail different rules regarding the personal pronouns and the inflection of the verbs. The two versions of our Magento language pack now allow you to address your customers personally to generate more closeness (du) or professionally by Sie to express respect and appreciation. We can also advise you on what is most suitable for your webshop for the german market.
Gender-neutral Language
German has 2 grammatical genders. There is a masculine and a feminine version of every personal name, profession and personal pronoun. In generic usage, however, only the masculine version is used. Since language creates reality, many who advocate gender equality find this irritating. They demand that a text should always address all genders. With the so-called gender asterisk (*), rephrasing, and other linguistic tricks, we have managed to create a gender-neutral version of the Magento 2 language package. This way you can really reach everyone with your Magento online shop.
Master of German: Magento language package from German e-commerce agency
With the Magento language packages, online shops can be output in different languages. However, the standard language packages contain errors, awkward formulations, and gaps. That is why our editorial team has meticulously revised the language package for Magento in German. The result is a clean, native-language translation of the Magento content, where the details are spot on.
In addition to the classic Sie address, we have created a version in which your clientele is addressed by Du; perfect for young brands, creatives, and emotional products. We also deliver a gender-neutral version of both versions, so that everyone really feels addressed
Germanized Magento 2 made in Germany
Since we as an agency have been working with Magento for years, it has long been a concern of ours to improve the bulky and somewhat embarrassing German Magento translation. We created 2 versions at once and are currently working on a gender-neutral language pack in German. Keep updated!
Our credo in translation:
accurate > minimize operating errors
typical > authentic language creates trust
tactful > appropriate form of address (psst: soon also gender-neutral!)
German quality down to the icing on the cake

How to Install German Language Pack professionally
Usually, Magento language packs are offered as modules. The installation of modules of any kind in Magento should always be carried out by a professional. Nevertheless, there is also a way to install plugins using only the admin functionality. However, we do not recommend this way with the language package we provided, as it is a special file format. For a junior developer, however, it is not a great challenge to carry out the implementation. That is why an agency’s professional installation of the language package is also affordable.
How to activate the German language pack
As described in the previous paragraph, we recommend the professional installation of the language package by a developer or agency. You can simply download the Local Pack here and have it installed by your usual Magento agency. You can also contact us and we will help you with the German Language Pack Magento 2 Extension. We look forward to your inquiry.
