Multilingual banners

If your visitors speak more than one language, your banner should too. One Privacy lets you add as many languages as you need and translate every field independently.

Add a language​

In your project, open Customization and click your banner. Click the Content card, then click Add Language at the top of the modal.

The full flow: open Content, add a language with auto translation, and preview the banner in the new language.

In the modal:

Search for the language by name (in English or in its native form) or by code.

Pick the languages you want to add. You can add up to 3 at a time.

Auto translate content from an existing language to start with a machine translation of that language's text (on plans with auto translation; on other plans the option is Copy content from, which copies the text for you to translate). Helpful if you've already polished your English copy.

Click Add Language (or Add N Languages if you've selected more than one).

Translate the content​

Once a language is added, it appears in the Content modal's language list. Click Edit next to it to open that language's content fields. Edit each field with the right translation and save.

The fields that need translating include the banner policy text, every button label, the Cookie Settings titles and descriptions, and the floating button labels.

How language detection works​

When the banner loads on your website, it picks the right language based on the visitor's browser settings. If a visitor's preferred language isn't available, the banner falls back to your default language (usually English).

You can also override the language with a geo rule. See Geo rules overview.

Preview a language​

Above the live preview, a small dropdown lets you switch the preview to any of the languages you've added. Useful for sanity-checking your translations before publishing.

The Cookie Settings popup has its own set of translatable fields (titles, descriptions, and category text). They're translated the same way, from the same per-language Edit view in the Content modal.
