For a little while now the WeGlot team has been looking into machine translations for Glide. They have made a few tweaks and we have been working to get the translation functionality into Glide Apps.
If you’re not familiar with WeGlot, they are a machine translation service that you can use to automatically translate your web content into over 50 different languages. https://weglot.com/new-home/
Usually this translation works with injection of some JS code into the header, however they can also translate with a domain name pointing to their service. It’s fairly simple to set up and use.
If you’d like to see an example of this live check out an example Glide app here:
*links removed*
No elements were changed with the application. It is a completely english app with no spanish elements. All translations were done by machine automatically via pointing to a custom domain.
To use the translation with Glide apps you will need to change your settings in the app to dynamic elements and point to body.
No it shouldn’t work with that. The notification would come from the original app pointed to the original domain. It wouldn’t change the email at all and wouldn’t change the link that is served in the email.
The translation will only work if the user is pointed to the link where the translation is being served (ex. The Es.nocoded.xyz).
Even though there is only one app the translation happens via domain pointed to the weglot service.
Good to know. You said it’s in beta. Are you speaking with the glide team to have an official integration ? Is it a stable solution ? Can we sell it to our client, or just a Hack ?
No not yet. For now I am simply helping Weglot test out this solution as a fan of both services. For now I’d say use it at your own risk however results so far are promising.
