Translations in Message Templates

Updated over a month ago

InTarget allows you to create multilingual versions of your message templates (Email, SMS, Push Notification, On-site Message, etc.) to ensure that users receive communications in their preferred language.

How it works

  1. Default Template

    • When you create a new template, the first version becomes the Default.

    • This Default template will be sent to all users regardless of their language, unless translations are added.

  2. Adding Translations

    • After the template is created, you’ll see a new “Translations” tabs.

    • Here you can add versions of the template in other languages.

    • If a user has a matching language set in their profile, they will automatically receive the translated version.

    Example:

    • Default template: English

    • Translation: Spanish

    • Result:

      • Users with profile language Spanish → receive Spanish version

      • All other users → receive Default English version

  3. No Extra Setup in Campaigns

    • When you build a campaign, you only need to select the template once in the communication step.

    • InTarget automatically delivers the correct version (Default or Translation) based on the user’s profile language.

Email Subjects

  • Each Email Template can now have its own Subject line defined at the template level.

  • This field is optional.

  • If a subject is defined in the template, then translations also apply to it. Each translated version of the email can have its own localized subject line.

  • If you do not set a subject in the template, you can still specify a general subject line at the campaign step level.

Key Notes

  • If no translation is available for a user’s profile language, the Default version is always used.

  • You can add multiple translations for as many languages as you support.

  • Campaign logic doesn’t change — translations are handled entirely at the template level.
