localization of database items

Have you had any thoughts about localization of things that are stored in the database such as catergories, product descriptions etc.

If I make a shop that primarily focus on Swedish customer and uses swedish category names, product descriptions, and specification attributes in the database and later want to expand say to the entire EU market noone outside Sweden (and the nordic countries) will know what the category 'Böcker' or the specification attribute 'Antal sidor' means.

If nopCommerce should be truly localizable you should be able to translate everything in the database as well.

Here are some examples:
- Category names
- Product descriptions on catetgory and manufacturer pages
- Productvariants: colors have different names in different languages
- Product specification attributes and their values
- Countries and regions
- etc

Any thoughts on this?

It's already supported. Just add one more language and you'll appropriate tabs for localization

It does support most of the things when it comes to localization. Below listed are some of the modules which are not able  to handle localization at this time.

Localization on countries and regions,payment methods, shipping methods to name a few

Thanks , I found it.

Off topic,
do you offer some premium extended documentation with API of NopCommerce ?

The only documention we have is available at http://docs.nopcommerce.com/

Cannot see specification attribute localized name.
using nop commerce 3.6.
is it under some admin settings to see the localized names?
or should be done in code?

Please, be more specific.

Is there a way to localize customer names in latin and in cyrillic script?
