Bevy provides translations for all Bevy generated copies (user interface copy and default copy). HQ admins are responsible for entering and managing the translations for their user-generated copy (i.e., customized email copy, form questions & responses, Page Builder customizations, etc.).
Here are the steps for adding a new language to your community.
- Identify the language(s) you're looking to enable.
- Gather the user-generated content you need to send out for translation.
- Translate the content into the desired language(s).
- Enter the translated content into Bevy.
- Assign chapter(s) to the newly added language(s).
Identify the language(s) you're looking to enable
Managing languages on your Bevy instance occurs in the localization section of the admin dashboard. View the full list of supported languages.
