Internationalization is the process of translating your referral program into multiple languages, and uses custom themes to manage all the strings, HTML and CSS attached. Internationalization uses 5 parts, as follows:

• The locale widget parameter (see Squatch.js and Mobile widget)
• The locale template field (see Template field reference)
• The i18n handlebars helper (see i18n Helper reference)
• Java .properties files (see i18n Helper reference)
• Translation service integrations (e.g. Transifex and Crowdin)

🔗 A Simple Example

Say we wanted to translated a single string like Give a free month to a friend.

Somewhere this would be in your custom theme, like so:

<h3>
    Give a free month to a friend
</h3>

This would need to use the i18n helper.

<h3>
    {{i18n "callToAction"}}
</h3>

>> messages.properties

callToAction = Give a free month to a friend

Then to translate the file, we'd just need to include a separate .properties file. For example, if your loaded Squatch.js or the mobile webview using locale=fr, it would use the messages from the messages_fr.properties file.

>> messages_fr.properties

callToAction = Donnez un mois gratuit à un ami

So, the final rendered result in French would look like so:

<h3>
    Donnez un mois gratuit à un ami
</h3>
