The Custom Content Feature allows you to translate content that you are not able to translate using the regular Theme Translations.


There are a few restrictions to make sure the Custom Content translations do not break your site:


- the original content must be enclosed by quotes or HTML tags

- the original content must not contain leading or trailing spaces and must not contain any newline characters.

- Custom Content is case sensitive



Here are some working examples:


Original Content: <span>Some text</span>

Custom Content: Some text


Original Content: "Some text"

Custom Content: Some text



Here are some examples that won't necessarily work:


Original Content: <span> Some text</span>

Custom Content: Some text (won't necessarily work because of the leading space)


Original Content: <span>Some text </span>

Custom Content: "Some text " (won't necessarily work because of the the trailing space)


Original Content: "some text"

Custom Content: "Some text" (won't necessarily work because of the case sensitivity)





With these restrictions in mind, here is how to add and translate Custom Content:

 



Step 1

Click "Add new custom content" in the "Translations / Custom" section.



The Custom section can be found in the bottom side, from langify -> Custom on the left hand menu


 

Step 2

Enter the content you would like to translate.
