Adding custom localizations in Web Messaging
You can upload additional custom translations for languages not supported by Digital Messaging Service, in the Web Messaging settings. This feature helps organizations to expand their services through the Web Messaging channel, reaching more diverse regions and languages.
Digital Messaging Service includes support for the following languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin/Chinese (Simplified), Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish. However, to cater to a broader audience, you can upload custom localizations for additional languages.
After you upload a custom localization, the system automatically localizes the
corresponding labels in the Web Messaging widget using the custom
language. The custom upload file contains key-value pairs, with the Web Messaging label and the relevant language as the column header. To
learn more about the key-value pairs that you can localize, refer to the
downloadable CSV
file as described in step 4.
