Yes – if you visit the support page there is an extra script for translating the hard-coded texts in your SquareSpace template.
If there are any texts missing, you can duplicate the final line of the code – read the comments in the code – it explains what to do – and then you can translate any template text.

Thanks, I will look in to it.

Martynas replied 8 years ago

Dave, I did everything what was written and nothing is translated. Could you please check where the problem is?

Martynas replied 8 years ago

My 0 language is english and 1 language is german. Did I missed something here? I do not getting translations from english to german.

function replaceSquarespaceText() {
if (readCookie(‘language’) != ”) {
currentlanguage=readCookie(‘language’);
} else {
currentlanguage = 0;
}
// depending on which language is your default language, you need to make an adjustment here
if (currentlanguage == 1) { // **** If the default language is not English, change this number to reflect the position where English occurs in your Language selector. This is zero-based – that means start counting from zero. E.g. if you have 3 languages in this order: German, English, French then change German is 0, English is 1 and French is 2 so change the 0 to 1
console.log(‘nothing to translate because language 0 chosen – change to language 1 and this will do something’);
return;
}

if (currentlanguage == 1) { // in the language selector, language 0 = first language, language 1 = second language – with this default example, language 1 is French. Copy this entire code block and repeat with language == 2 or language == 3 if you have more than 2 languages

Hi, Dave, what do I have to do to get a reply to my question? I have launched a website which is not properly translated in to german language and how I will impress now german customers with the “almost finished” website?

Dave Hilditch replied 8 years ago

Hi – I’m not clear on what is going wrong here? Did you enter the german text into the squarespace translations file and then paste it into code injection?

Martynas replied 8 years ago

Yes, I did this. I didn’t translate everything, because there are words that I am not using. But at the end I put a translation of ‘from’ to ‘ab’ and nothing happened. Same with ‘First name’ and ‘Last name’. I am not a programmer so maybe I did something wrong there. Here is all code:



function replaceSquarespaceText() {
if (readCookie(‘language’) != ”) {
currentlanguage=readCookie(‘language’);
} else {
currentlanguage = 0;

console.log(‘nothing to translate because language 0 chosen – change to language 1 and this will do something’);
return;
}

Hi – I’m seeing an error in your code.
The line which runs as follows:
jQuery(this).html(jQuery(this).html().replace(‘Quantity’, ‘Quantité’));
At the end of this line is a comment, but that comment has been moved to the next line somehow so in your case it reads:
 
jQuery(this).html(jQuery(this).html().replace(‘Quantity’, ‘Quantité’)); // ****
TRANSLATE THIS TEXT TO YOUR LANGUAGE ****
Please amend this so it is on one line as follows:
jQuery(this).html(jQuery(this).html().replace(‘Quantity’, ‘Quantité’)); // **** TRANSLATE THIS TEXT TO YOUR LANGUAGE ****

Martynas replied 8 years ago

I did that but nothing has changed.
