How do I translate custom fields based on the recipient's language?
With Cloze you can translate custom fields and templates to ensure that the recipient receives your content in their local language. For example, when sending properties to a potential buyer the template can dynamically change to display the description, email subject, custom field labels, and button labels in the recipient's preferred language. Cloze will use the country and formatting options set in their Cloze profile to display the translated content. By default, the contact's country is used to select the formatting and translated content.
Translating specific content
For any Cloze template you can translate:
- The subject of the email
- The body of the email
- Custom Fields and associated picklist values (see below for more details)
- Property (or Deal, Project, Sale, Job, etc..) descriptions
- Marketing Email button labels
- Marketing email templates
Cloze automatically selects the translation based on the contact (country, locale, and language used in email communication).
A preferred language can also be set by tapping on the Locale dropdown and selecting a language.
In this example, because the locale is set to English, any translated content will use English instead of Italian.
