Summary
Languages give you the ability to customize the labels and text used within PathFactory experiences. You set up each language from the languages configuration. You’ll then apply a language to different PathFactory experiences.
Customizing languages allows you to:
- Change the tone of your messaging across different PathFactory experiences
- Create messaging in other languages for content that’s targeting non-English populations
- Create alternate English-language groups for spelling variations (e.g., English US vs English UK)
|
Warning
|
Language settings do not change the text within your content assets. |
When you first start using PathFactory, you’ll want to customize the default language settings. You can also create as many different language groups as you want!
