Adding languages to the app

Created by Glen Barnes, Modified on Thu, 10 Oct at 10:54 PM by Natalie Nguyen

If you need to add additional languages to your app and tours, follow these steps to ensure your content is accessible to a wider audience. 


Step 1: Add a Secondary Language to Your Project


Choose Projects >> your app >> Overview >> Select the language(s) you want to add to your app.


Step 2: Add Translation for Your Content


You can upload your translated content or use our built-in Google Translate tool.


Option 1: Upload your translated content


You first need to add the translated content to the tour/list overview page and do the same for each of the screens within that tour/list. Then you should add the new language as a secondary language to the app overview page.

Collections 

  1. Open the tour/list you want to add another language >> On the Overview page, choose a new language from the drop-down under Add a language.
  2. Add translations for the Tour titles and tour Introduction.

Screens:

  1. Open the screen you want to add another language >> Choose a new language from the drop-down under Add a language.
  2. Add translations for the Screen titles and tour elements including Text and any Section titles.

 

Media:

Similarly, you should open the media files and add new translations to the images/audio/videos. If you do not have the translations for the image caption, attribution, and/or description, you can just skip this step. Missing content will default to the primary language.

Videos




Option 2: Use our built-in Google Translate tool


Instead of uploading translations, you can choose to copy the content from the primary language or use our built-in Google Translate tool to translate the content.

Use Google Translate

 

You can hide a content section in a certain language by choosing the content section and toggling the "Hide for [language]" button.

For the changes to show in the app, you should hit Save in the builder. In the app, you should go to the app settings and select "Check for updated content". End-users can choose their preferred language when they first open the app or from the language dropdown list in the app settings.
