Configuring Language & Locale

 

Quick Start

What to get the Language & Locale Widget up and running so your Users can experience your Widgets in their preferred language? See the Quick Start Guide to get started.

If the shared script hasn't been added to your website, add it to your desired webpage. Be sure to replace "{your platform domain}" in the following code with your church's base MP URL.

<script id="MPWidgets" src="https://{your platform domain}/widgets/dist/MPWidgets.js"></script>

Create a webpage on your website that will display your Language & Locale Widget or identify the page on your website where it will be displayed.

Add the Language & Locale Widget to your church website by placing this snippet of code in the body of your webpage. Adding multi-lingual support through the Language & Locale Widget is optional, but always recommended. Ideally, the Language & Locale Widget will be added to each website page containing another Widget.

<mpp-locale-selector></mpp-locale-selector>
Tip: While not mandatory, this snippet would typically be placed inside a <div> element with the class "container."
Configure Your Widget!

Simply fill out the Widget Configurator below, copy your generated Widget, and paste it into your website.

Other Considerations

Available languages include:

  • Chinese
  • English
  • Portuguese
  • Spanish

The selected language impacts:

  • Menu & Navigation Text (Labels)
  • Date & Time Formatting 
  • Currency 
You can change the Label text that appears on buttons for any Widget by navigating to System Setup > Application Labels. Default label values will always come with a translation for each supported language. But when labels deviate from the default value provided, churches are responsible for their own translations.
