The Purchasely Console lets you personalize your application and screens in every language you want.

In this article we will explore different localization settings available in Purchasely.

App Localization:

When you create a new application in the Purchasely Console, you must choose a default language. Once selected, this language cannot be changed. It will automatically be applied to your paywall, including the wording of the footer, which will align with the localization settings..

Paywalls Localization

Paywalls can be localized in any number of languages. In order to add these languages to the paywall, you have to navigate to the desired paywall-> click on the language tab eg: English(default) as shown in the following video -> Add languages -> From the list choose and add as many languages as you support in your application.

Once you have added these different languages, you have to fill the correct translations of all your copies in every language you have added.

By default, the images form the default language is transferred to the all the languages.

Smart localization

Purchasely Screen Composer provides a smart way to localize the paywall when you have multiple languages to manage. This smart localization feature is a time saver.

This feature consists in leveraging a CSV file containing a set of keys used in your different Screens across the entire application (in lines) and associate each key with a set of translations in all the languages managed by the application (in columns)

How to use Smart localization?

Process for uploading your translations

The process is the following:

1. The template CSV file can be downloaded from the App settings > Screen section in the Purchasely Console.

   

   If you have previously uploaded a translation file, the Download your translation button will allow you to fetch the last version uploaded.

2. Modify the CSV file:

   • add keys (= lines) languages (= columns)
     and
   • create the translations for each key in the different languages

3. Upload the new version of the CSV file

4. Enable localization mode for your paywalls

5. Map each text with the corresponding key

Using tags with Smart localization

If you need to integrate Tags into your Texts, they need to be inserted between 2 pairs of curly brackets. Example:

• {{PRICE}} => Price of a default Plan or Plan associated with the parent element of the Text
  (e.g.: $9.99 / month)
• {{PRICE(yearly)}} => Price of the annually Plan, where yearly is the reference associated with the Plan (e.g.: $99.99 / year)

Enabling smart localization mode for your Screens

Enable localization for your Screen from Localization -> + -> Localization

⚠️The pop-up box displays an important message about the feature: if you proceed with the localization mode, the existing text on the Screen will be lost. Click Confirm to continue

ℹ️ If you decide to change your mind, you can use the rollback feature to revert to the latest published version of your Screen 😊

⚠️ As soon as you confirm the above pop-up, your Screen's Texts will be wiped off.

You can then go over each Text element of your Screen an map it with the desired key from the translation file.

Save and publish 👍

⚠️ Please make sure to be transparent about the price of the plan in the CTA buttons.

How to add a new language?
If you wish to add a new language, you'll need to upload a translation file.

Once you have added the file, you will notice the paywalls that support localization are marked for localization updated.

Step 3

You will see the newly added language and you'll need to provide the corresponding visuals.

How to edit my existing translation?
If you want to make changes to an existing translation, you'll need to upload a file containing the updated text.

As soon as you uploaded a new file, you will see the paywalls that are localization enabled will be marked for localization updated.

Step 4 you can choose which text to update by selecting it from the new file.
