Article summary

You don't have to create different Pop-ups for each language in case you use multiple languages to author Whatfix content. You can use the Whatfix Translations capability to translate Pop-ups.

Let's assume you want to create a Pop-up for your English and German-speaking users. You would like to notify them about your privacy policy update. Apart from the Pop-up content being in English and German, respectively, you would also like to route your users to the respective language support page.

Whatfix recognizes the application language of your user and then displays the Whatfix content in that language. For more information, see How does Whatfix select which language content to display?

Translating Pop-ups is a two-step process
Step 1: Create the Pop-up in a default language
Step 2: Translate the Pop-up into multiple languages

Use the following steps to achieve the translation of Pop-ups in multiple languages:

Step 1: Create the Pop-up in a default language

Note

When you create a new Pop-up, you don't have to start from scratch. Instead, you can base your new Pop-up on a template. Whatfix enables you to choose from 15 templates. For more information, see Create Pop-ups.

Step 2: Translate the Pop-up

Use the following steps to translate the Pop-up:

  1. On the Whatfix Guidance dashboard, click Settings.

    The translated content status is updated to Completed and moved to the end of the list. For more information see, Language file translation status.

Note
  • Whatfix doesn’t validate the accuracy of the translated language. For example, a user can select German and enter the text in Russian.
  • Only Account Managers can add additional languages.
  • The language used to show Whatfix content to the end-user depends on the language selected in the application and browser. For more information, see Enable Whatfix to detect the language of your application.
  • Select Properties using the Content Type dropdown to translate Whatfix UI text. This ensures that the user sees both the content you created and the Whatfix UI in the translated language.
