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. Screenshot showing how to add a secondary language to a project in the STQRY Builder.

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 thetour/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. Screenshot showing how to add a secondary language to a collection (Tour or List) in the STQRY Builder.
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. Screenshot showing how to add a secondary language to a screen in the STQRY Builder
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.

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.

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

For screen content, it's important to translate the text for each individual language, as text is saved per language. For media files, you can select the file once and then assign all the necessary languages. Media files are saved per file, not per language. Read the help article about screen and media files to learn how to add translations.

When adding or removing a language, the STQRY team must be notified so the app can be rebuilt and submitted again. Once the app is live, end users can select their preferred language when they first open the app. They can change it later from the language dropdown in the app settings.
