Whatfix enables content creators to translate content using properties files. This can be done by downloading the properties file of the language in which you want to translate the content from the dashboard and then translating the content.

Download the property file

Use the following steps to download the language files:

On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click Settings.
Click Translations.

Download the property file (ZIP file) for any language using the Download icon next to it.
From the pop-up, choose the .properties format option.
5. Click Download.

Note

The language file gets downloaded in .zip format.

Translate the property file

Use the following steps to translate the content:

Extract the ZIP file and open the file using a text editor like Sublime Text or any text or code editor.

Note

If it's the first time translating to the language, translate content under the folder full.
If you're translating the new content created, translate content under the folder delta.

Translate the content.
Each language has an associated properties file that can be used to translate Whatfix UI texts so that the user has a consistent experience.
