The Translations section allows the defining of many language versions used throughout the Open Loyalty platform. All content elements will appear in the selected default language.
Most of the text that appears to be hard-coded on pages throughout your loyalty platform can be instantly changed to a different language by changing the default language parameter. The Default language is selected during the translation creation process but can be changed at any time in edition mode.
Moreover, during Campaigns and Tier creation/edition processes, an Admin can fulfill the Basic Information section in every language version listed here. For example, if we have Polish and English translations, there is a possibility to provide Basic information on Tiers and Campaigns in both languages.
Thanks to this, changing the default language translates the text word-for-word and references a different translation table that provides the interface text that is used in the Admin and Client cockpit. The text that can be changed includes navigational titles, labels, buttons, and links such as “List of customers” and “Account”, Campaigns and Tier names, descriptions, etc.
Currently, Open Loyalty is available in English.
To open the Translations list, go to Settings -> Translations. All available languages are listed in the table. You can change the number of rows displayed per page by clicking on the arrow icon below the table and picking a handy number from the list.
