How to Use Translations:

  1. Go to the Widget options in your account.

  2. Find the language dropdown menu.

  3. Select the language you want to apply (e.g., French, Arabic).

  4. The eCard forms, widgets, emails, and eCards will automatically update to reflect the chosen language.

Step 2: Customizing Text with the Custom Text/Translation Feature

If you want to go beyond preset translations and personalize the text further, the Custom Text/Translation feature allows you to override specific text fields. You can adjust the wording for anything visible to Senders and Recipients, whether it's on a form, in an email, or within an eCard.

How to Customize Text:

  1. Navigate to Account Settings.

  2. Select the Custom Translation section.

  3. Use the search bar to find the specific text you want to change (e.g., "Notify me when my recipients open the card").

  4. Copy the text, paste it into the custom field, and edit it (e.g., change to "Notify me when my card is open").

  5. Click Save.

  6. Refresh the eCard form, and the new text will be reflected.

Step 3: Reverting or Making Additional Changes

If you want to revert to the original text or make more changes:

  • Return to the Custom Translation section.

  • Reset the field to its default text or edit further as needed.

  • Save the changes, then refresh the eCard form to see the updates.

Common Use Cases for Translations & Custom Text

  • Multi-language communication: Ideal for organizations with a global audience.

  • Consistent branding: Customize text to align with your brand’s tone.

  • Clarified messaging: Adjust instructions and notifications to be more user-friendly and clear.

Summary:

The Translations and Custom Text/Translation features give you full control over the language and messaging across all user-facing elements—eCards, forms, widgets, and emails. This ensures a seamless, personalized experience for both Senders and Recipients, no matter what language they speak.
