How can I define a product with descriptions in more languages?

How could I define a product containing the descriptions translated in English and other languages?
If I create an English product and an another one in Italian, they won't share the inventory.

If you enable the OrchardCore.ContentLocalization feature and the product contains LocalizationPart, you can add localized versions of the product.

Unfortunately simple InventoryPart-based inventory tracking is not supported for this scenario, because of the design limitations of OC's OrchardCore.ContentLocalization module. (Localized content items are clones at the time of creation with only a reference to each other, they can't share/synchronize content part data.) You have two options:

• First, replace LocalInventoryProvider with your own IProductInventoryProvider implementation that stores the inventory registry somewhere else independent of the content item content (e.g in a site setting, auxiliary database table, etc).
• Alternatively, if you only have to translate descriptions (i.e. if it's not a problem that the ContentItem.DisplayText won't be translatable), you can place the description in a LiquidPart and use Liquid to translate the contents of the description in-place like this: {{ "The content of the description!" | t }}.

I created my own IProductInventoryProvider, but it seems not to work when I use this snippet on Startup.cs (I'm developing a project in .NET 8, OrchardCore 1.8.3 and OrchardCore.Commerce 2.1.0):

services.Replace(
          ServiceDescriptor.Scoped<IProductInventoryProvider, MyServices.LocalInventoryProvider>()
);

What could you suggest to solve my issue?

Are you sure your module's startup is called after OrchardCore.Commerce.Startup.ConfigureServices? Make sure "OrchardCore.Commerce" is added to the dependencies in your Manifest.cs.

Also you can check what services are registered in any of your own services or controllers by injecting IEnumerable<IProductInventoryProvider> in the constructor. (injecting IEnumerable<IService> instead of just IService gives you an array of all registered implementations)
