1. Log into your PrestaShop admin panel.

2. Navigate to Catalog-> Tags and select Add new tag button from the top right corner:

   • Name: enter a word or a phrase you want to display on the fronted of the site as the tag title.

   • Language: select the language to which you want the tag to be added.

     Note: your tag will be available only for the version of the store you selected while creating it. In case you want it to be displayed in other languages, you have to create it once more and assign to this language.
