Providing Plugin Content in Multiple Languages

The following plugins support multi-language content: 

  • Forms
  • Event registration
  • Calendar
  • Quiz calendar

For other plugins that do not support multi-language content, there is a workaround that gives you the opportunity to provide some of the content in plugins in your required languages.

For some plugins, such as meal plans, there is currently no support for providing content in multiple languages. With these plugins, however, you can label a great part of the interface yourself. This gives you the opportunity to write the plugin content in your required languages.

Creating Multi-Language Content For Plugins With Multi-Language Support

  1. Navigate to the plugin, to which you want to add content in another language. 
  2. Click the + button to add a language.

  3. Select a language from the dropdown menu.
    The dropdown menu contains all the languages that are enabled for your organization. If you need additional languages an administrator can enable them.

  4. Optionally, enable the toggle Copy Existing Contents to copy existing page contents from another language. 
  5. Click OK.
    The tab for the new language is displayed.  

Creating Multi-Language Content For Plugins Without Multi-Language Support

Providing plugin content for multiple languages in the following way requires you to create your user groups by language. Contact Staffbase Support or your Customer Success Manager to discuss your specific use case.

To create the contents of a plugin without multi-language support in multiple languages, proceed as follows:

  1. Navigate to Users > User groups.
  2. Create a user group for each language and add the users to the according group.
  3. Create the plugin several times, one for each language. 
  4. Provide the content and label it in the required language. For example, you can add a holiday or company vacation in Spanish or Portuguese.
  5. Click on the gear wheel for the settings of the plugin.
  6. Provide the name in the menu in the required language, as described above.
  7. For Visibility in the app select the option For selected user, groups or API tokens.
  8. Select the group according to the language. 
  9. Click Save.
  10. Use the preview of the plugin to check the language.  

Providing the Name in the Menu in Multiple Languages

Creating content in multiple languages is only available if your app is configured for it. If you miss this option and need it, contact your app administrator.

  1. Navigate to the plugin, to which you want to add content in another language.
  2. Click on the gear wheel for the settings.
  3. Open the dropdown menu for the field title.

  6. Click OK.
  7. Enter the Title in the new language.
    The title is used as name in the menu.
  8. Click Save.
