Did you know you can ALSO translate your signup process to over 25 different languages?

      Is it possible to have your sign-up forms in two languages concurrently?

    • Zeynep Ferah says:

      I see that translation into Turkish is now supported. Just to be sure, could you verify if that means, that Turkish characters such as the s with a dot below or the i without a dot are supported?

      • Ben says:

        @Zeynep – What we mean by Turkish translation is that our signup process is now translated (thanks to our Turkish volunteer users). Your signup forms, thank you pages, welcome emails, etc. I think you’re talking about our application, where you actually create email campaigns. In that case, we support UTF-8 which may or may not cover Turkish. I don’t know for sure. But given we have Turkish users in the first place, I’d assume so. You might try setting up a free trial and giving it a full blown Turkish test.

      OK, we have a client that wants to translate our existing newsletters into Japanese and send to his distribution list abroad. Would he import our English content into a template first, then select ‘Japanese’ language? Does it translate, or would he translate it first, then import the content in Japanese into the template? Just trying to understand the necessary steps.

      • Ben says:

        Translate first, then import content. Our translations are for the subscription process (signup form, thank you emails, etc). We also have translation tags you can insert that will allow recipients to see your content translated to other languages if they click. Just search our blog for “TRANSLATE merge tag”

        Hi,

        In some English newsletter softwares foreign letters are viewed as spam factors.

        Does the fact that my “foreign” language is on your “supported” list mean that the “strange” characters (compared to English) will not be seen as spam factors?

        Thank you

      Hi,

      Is it possible to translate the ajax response messages to dutch?

      Thanks for your reply.

      • wuops says:

        I need to translate the same ajax messages in Spanish.

        Anyone know it?

        • wuops says:

          Where I can change the following ajax texts?

          “Please enter a valid email address.”

          and…

          “Almost Finished…We need to confirm your email address. To complete the subscription process, please click the link in the email we just sent you.”

    • tom says:

      does it support traditional and simplified Chinese characters? UTF-8 would do the trick…

    • Rob Glucksman says:

      You have two versions of French……but don’t specify which Chinese?

      Can you advise please? Is it Traditional (used everywhere except mainland China) or Simplified (used by the mere 1.3 billion folks in the People’s Republic)?
