Having an online store these days allows you to introduce your products and service to customers worldwide. So one of your responsibilities is to ensure a seamless experience for the shoppers while visiting your website. Even though most of the world's population speak foreign languages, it is always useful to have an option for translation.
How to manually translate the Consentmo app?
If your store uses only one language, you can manually translate the app by following the step listed below:
- Navigate to the Cookie Bar Settings tab from the admin and in the Bar Content Section there you will have the ability to change the texts in all fields: Cookie Bar text, Preferences Modal Text, Privacy Policy link wording, Cookie information text, Buttons text etc.
- If you want to translate the Compliance pages, you can do so by going to Online Store > Pages and then choosing the Compliance page you want to translate. When you enter the page, you can translate the title and the whole content.
*Note: This text is part of Consentmo’s Compliance pages and it is used as a reference. Please, make sure to keep the link and translate it correctly.
You can edit the text which appears when you click on the Edit your account information link by entering in the Compliance pages, clicking on the Show HTML button, and changing the text.
Following the same steps, you are able to change the text in the section you are confirming your consent on using your email and IP.
The Requested emails and Pages also have an option for translation. Go to the Translation tab of the admin, and see the Language For The Request Emails & Request Pages feature, and choose the language you want to use. We offer a good variety of languages for the GDPR Request Emails & Request Pages: English, French, German, Italian, Bulgarian, Finnish, Slovenian, Romanian, Portuguese, Hungarian, Spanish, Dutch, Czech, Croatian, Swedish, Latvian, Norwegian, Lithuanian, Polish and Japanese. For the APPI Request Emails & Request Pages you can choose between Japanese and English and for the PIPEDA Request Emails & Request Pages - French or English.
For those of you, who are premium users, the Language Browser Detection feature, will help with the translation process. Our app automatically detects the store language, in which the customer is currently browsing and translates the Request pages and emails into the corresponding language, which we have already translated. If the store is viewed in a non-existing language, the app uses the one set by default in the settings.
In case you want to translate your Cookie Consent Bar and Preferences popup in a couple of different languages, then take a closer look at some of the apps compatible with ours and how you can set them up in your store.
