It would be awesome to allow for custom translations (not AI generated) in the future

Hi there, @StephenC :wave: I cannot but agree with it, custom translations would give a greater flexibility. Hopefully the devs will be able to consider this option in the future, and we’ll update you here in case of any progress :slightly_smiling_face: As for adding more classes, yes, you should…

From a UX perspective, it would make sense if it would duplicate the pages and people could go and edit translations directly into their CMS platform. Then, the widget becomes a navigational tool that redirects link to the language page selected to swap between pages easily.

Welcome to the Community, @user22461 :waving_hand: Do we get it right that you’d prefer adding custom translations in your website’s backend, instead of the widget editor? So, you have duplicated pages with the custom translation to different languages and the widget will be just a button that cho…

Oh well that would be easier. I have exactly that and I just need a nice button to choose from. But i cannot add a top right custom button in Jimdo. Regards

Thanks Max, Yes, the second option is better. I already have subpages in Spanish, but if I had a nice button to choose the language, then I can add the links to the button and be redirected to my own pages in Spanish. I don’t know if I am making sense

Do you have an estimated launch date?

@Better_Host I’m afraid we don’t have an ETA to share (just to avoid false expectations), but we’ll make sure to keep you in the loop here :blush:

Would LOVE to see custom translations be an option in the near future. While the widget is great, it definitely makes some blatant errors which would be great if they could be custom corrected. Hopefully see this as a feature soon!

Welcome to the Community, @Hannah_Collinson :waving_hand: Thanks a bunch for sharing your thoughts! We are also hopeful the devs will roll out this feature as soon as possible, and we’ll make sure to update you here in case of any news :slightly_smiling_face:
