The custom content feature is developed as a work-around for specific content that can not be translated regularly out of the box. It is easy to use and also comes with advanced options. E.g. the 'Add to cart' or the 'announcement bar/banner'.
Further, it can be used to translate certain third party app content for e.g. Search, Page builder or Review apps.
Check out our third party app integration list here.
Please create the custom content translations in the corresponding section.
(Global; Frontpage; Product pages; Collection Pages etc.)
Simply go to your custom section in langify and select the section to create the custom content.
E.g. the 'Add to Cart' button can apply to all section and therefore best added in global section.
While a translation for a specific product offer is best translated in the product category.
Step by step
- Choose the Section.
- Create the Custom content
- Add your translations and save.
Hint: Use the Inspect tool (Link) to find the correct text to create the custom content
Advanced Options
Sections
The additional options are helpful for certain use cases. E.g. some variant (for a product) or other specifics that only applies to that page. Accordingly, in case necessary (e.g. many custom contents), we recommend creating those by section. For better overview and manageability, as well as functionality. Here are the available sections:
Global => applied to all pages (e.g. Footer & certain 3rd party app content)
Frontpage => front page only (e.g. Hero banner)
Product Pages => all product pages (e.g. Variants)
Collection Pages => all collection Pages
Blog/Article Pages => all Blog Pages
Custom Pages => all custom Pages
System Pages => all other pages (e.g. cart page, 404, account)
Important: Please only use custom content should the regular translation not work correctly. (e.g. several hundert custom contents might affect your loading speed)
Usually, it is fine to simply add custom contents to the ‘global’ section. (Usually, only few elements need to be custom translated)
