How to take user linguistic choice into account?

Nicolas_GREHANT_IGNFI — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:27:45 GMT

Hi all,

I was wondering if it was possible to let the user of the Experience to choose its own language?

I mean, allowing him to click on a flag (or else) and that then everything goes from English to French or Spanish and so on.

I was thinking about using a published table to get dynamic translation of title, subtitle, and other texts, but I wonder if I go in the good or easiest solution.

Any clue?

Thanks

Hi @Nicolas_GREHANT_IGNFI

I don't believe this is possible at the moment. A similar post exists for this query raised a few years ago:

Switch language in the online ExB

I recommend you look at the solutions posted there.

Hope this helps

Great, so nothing really possible yet, except duplicating the pages for each language.

Big thanks for your answer Richard.

PS: I thought that it would have been simple to get result with a dynamic query such as "TEXT = SELECT title FROM my_linguistic_table_in_datastore WHERE language = current_language_selection;" but this is not yet possible :-).

If you check out this video he uses typescript and jimu to start doing something similar. Unsure how to do this on a larger scale but it is interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrV9TtGFAFw&t=351s
