Create multilingual templates

To create an email template in multiple languages:

  • Create the template in German language first
  • Now select the template and click the “Main Language” button at the bottom of the Actions bar. Now you will see a list of compatible languages.

You can find a training video on the subject of multilingualism here.

  • Select the desired language there and then click on the highlighted “Edit” icon Edit Symbol of the email you created above.
  • Here you can still edit the title of your other language version. In the following, the template is copied and identified as a document of the desired language. A translation does not take place automatically.
  • A pop-up window opens in which a translation of the template must now be entered by you. The macros remain as in the original template. If, for example, the property title is used, onOffice enterprise edition uses the title of the English property for the translation. Then save the template.
  • The creation of the first translation is now complete. If you want to create the template in other languages, repeat the steps.

If a translation for a macro is missing in the desired language, the term is displayed in English instead. If an English translation is also missing, the German equivalent is used. For example, if the system language is French and the term “properties” is not translated in the dictionary, the English translation “properties” will be displayed.
