Set language for email campaign
Hi,
Is there any way to couple a language to an email campaign (or issue or mailing list)?
If not, I think the only option is to create a campaign per language? But how does SF know how to translate lists, events, news items (and so on) in the rendered and sent campaign issue?
In other words, is there any way to configure a language for an issue/campaign, so that eg. news items are rendered in the correct language?
Hi Bert,
I don't think it can be done like you propose (I would like that option though). What I have configured (not used yet) is an mailing list for each language. That allows you to send issues to the mailing list you need. Each issue needs to be customized per language. I'm not sure if there's a better way.
Hi Arno,
This is indeed a solution for content that is scoped onto that single issue. So, only content and images for that issue.
Once you add eg. News to the newsletter, I don't really see how SF can know in which translation the news needs to be rendered on the particular issue...
Hello,
Actually, the Email campaigns module doesn't have a multilingual functionality, so all content items will be rendered in the default language (when you drop a widget on the page).
However, you can workaround this behavior by getting the correct language version of your items by code. For this purpose (if you're creating your Email campaigns as Web page) you can base it on a master page and display the content of your news items in some control - let's say a label. In the code-behind of the master page, you can get the content from any culture like this:
var newsItem = App.WorkWith().NewsItems().Where(t => t.Title == "test").Get().FirstOrDefault();var culture = "AR";var contentSA = newsItem.GetString("Content")[culture];LabEl.Text = contentSA;
