# How to setup Clonable with MyOnlineStore?

## Summary
This article explains how to set up **MyOnlineStore** with Clonable. It shows you how to connect your MyOnlineStore webshop, create a Clone, and get your translated store live without touching your original setup. Use this guide when you want to expand your MyOnlineStore shop to other languages or markets quickly and safely.


**⏱️ Reading time:** 5–7 minutes


## Connecting MyOnlineStore to Clonable
Clonable works alongside your existing MyOnlineStore webshop. Your original store stays exactly as it is, while Clonable creates translated versions on separate domains or subdomains.

You do not need to install plugins or modify your MyOnlineStore configuration.



## Step 1: Create a new clone
1. Log in to the Clonable dashboard.
2. Click **Create new Clone**.
3. Enter the URL of your MyOnlineStore webshop.
4. Choose the source language of your site.
5. Select one or more target languages.

Clonable now scans your webshop and prepares it for translation.



## Step 2: Configure domains
After creating the clone, you need to decide how visitors will access the translated webshop.

You can choose:
* A subdomain like `fr.yourstore.com`
* A separate domain like `yourstore.fr`

Follow the DNS instructions shown in Clonable to point the domain to the clone.

|| DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to fully propagate worldwide.


## Step 3: Automatic translation
Once the Clone is active, Clonable automatically translates:
* Product pages
* Category pages
* Static content pages
* Checkout-related text that is publicly visible

Translations appear instantly when a page is visited.

| Visit important pages once to make sure they are translated and cached.


## Step 4: Review and fine-tune translations
Automatic translation gets you started fast, but fine-tuning improves quality.

You can:
* Edit translations using the Clone Editor
* Exclude specific words like brand names
* Adjust menus, banners, and SEO text

All edits apply only to the Clone, never to your original MyOnlineStore webshop.



## SEO and indexing
Each translated clone has its own SEO structure.

Clonable automatically:
* Translates meta titles and descriptions
* Adds hreflang tags
* Prevents duplicate content issues

You can still manually optimize SEO text per language if needed.



## Checkout and payments
The checkout process remains handled by MyOnlineStore.

Important points:
* Orders are processed in the original webshop
* Payment providers stay unchanged
* Customer data flows exactly as before

|| Some checkout steps may partially remain in the original language, depending on MyOnlineStore limitations.


## Common setup checks
After setup, verify the following:
* Pages load correctly in the target language
* Navigation and links work as expected
* Checkout opens without errors
* Important product and category pages are translated

Fixing issues early avoids confusion for international visitors.


## Untranslated init data
The checkout uses default init data that will not properly be translated by Clonable. By triggering a refresh, the text fragments are retrieved via Ajax, which are correctly translated by Clonable. This trigger is easy to build in by injecting the following javascript into the body via the clone settings:
Trigger snippet
```
<script>
const myTimeout = setTimeout(translateCheckout, 500);
function translateCheckout(){
if(window.location.toString().includes("checkout")){
var childBox = document.querySelectorAll('div[data-testid="shippingmethods-radio-pickup-at-store"]');
childBox[0].parentElement.parentElement.parentElement.click();}
}
</script>
```
