Localization

Learn about Localization settings in givetly.

Language localizations are available only for supporter-facing texts (such as checkout and emails). The platform’s organization-facing aspects, including the Dashboard, are consistently shown in American English.

​
Default Language

The default language setting determines the initial language used for editing customizable content in your Dashboard. It’s also the fallback language used when a supporter’s preferred language is undetectable.

​
UI Languages

This section defines the potential display languages for your Organization’s Campaigns, Elements, and Donor Portal. Within each campaign, select which enabled languages will appear in the campaign’s Localization menu. Labels in your Checkout modal, Campaign Page, Elements, and Donor Portal automatically appear in the configured language. For customizable content such as emails, input your own text for each language or use the pre-localized default text available.

Determining Language for Supporters

You can set how determines the language for the supporter interface using the following options:

  • Browser Settings: Use the donor’s browser preferences to localize Checkout, Elements, and the Donor Portal.
  • Site URL: Automatically localize specific URLs to a certain language, excluding Campaign Pages.
  • Language Parameter: Utilize the _lang URL parameter and window._lang JavaScript variable to set language priority, considering URL parameters first, then JavaScript setup, followed by Dashboard configurations. Browser preferences take precedence if no other information is available, and the default organization language serves as a fallback.

​
