Message templates in several languages

Add languages to a template so the driver can send the message in the customer's language. Each language has its own text but the same fields.

A message template can have text in several languages. The driver can then send the message in the language that suits the customer, without you having to create a separate template for each language.

How to add a language

  1. Open the template.

  2. Click Add language and choose the language.

  3. A separate tab appears for that language. Write the text (and the subject, for email) in the new language.

  4. Click Save.

Each language has its own tab with its own text – in the example above, Norwegian and Swedish. The merge fields are the same in every language – {customer.name} works the same way regardless – so you only translate the text around the fields. The preview follows the language tab you're on, so you can check each language separately.

Remove a language

Go to the tab for the language you want to remove and click Remove [language] (for example "Remove Swedish"). Only that text is deleted; the other languages are kept.

Which language is sent?

When a template has several languages, the driver chooses the language when sending the message. Add the languages your customers actually use, so the driver doesn't have to translate on the spot.
