Smooch change language of output of bot

I am working with Smooth and I would like to know how to change the text of the app. Currently it is in English but I would like to have the text in Dutch. How would I go about that?

cheers

Solution

  • You can override all strings in the Smooch web UI by specifying them in the customText option of the Smooch.init call:

    http://docs.smooch.io/javascript/#strings-customization

    The whole list of overridable strings is here.

    Note that this overrides strings for all of your users, so for now unfortunately you can get all Dutch or all English. We're still working on building proper localization in the widget, e.g. letting you specify a locale to init, and detecting a preferred language via the user agent.
