Translation

Lumiere can translate your question text into different language pathways that lead to the same insights dashboard.

Updated over a week ago

In Lumiere, you can translate all of your on-screen text (question prompts, slider labels, reaction text, etc.) into any of the following languages:

  • German (Germany)

  • English (Australia)

  • English (Canada)

  • English (UK)

  • Spanish (Spain)

  • Spanish (Mexico)

  • Spanish (US)

  • French (Canada)

  • French (France)

  • Italian (Italy)

  • Japanese (Japan)

  • Korean (South Korea)

  • Portuguese (Brazil)

When you add a new language, Lumiere will add it to your video's list of language pathways. When you send your video link out to your audience, Lumiere will automatically switch to that language if it matches a viewer's default language settings on their device.

For example: If you add German (Germany) as a language option for your video, Lumiere will automatically translate your video's on-screen features to German for viewers whose default language settings at German. For all other viewers, the video will default to the primary language of your video.



To Add a Language Option to your Video

  1. Navigate to your video's setup page

  2. Open the Video Settings tab on the left sidebar

  3. At the bottom of the left-side panel, locate the 'Languages' section

  4. Click 'Add Language' and select a language option

For Further Editing

Once you've added a new language pathway, you can make further adjustments to specific language pathways by:

  1. Opening the language pathway list at the top of the page, under your video's title

  2. Selecting a pathway.

In each pathway, you can make adjustments to the verbiage for that specific pathway.

Primary Language

The primary language pathway of your Lumiere video will be the language that viewers see by default, unless their device settings match an alternate language pathway you have added to your video.
​
To change your video's primary language:

  1. Navigate to the Video Settings tab under the Setup page

  2. Under 'Languages', locate the language you want to set as your Primary language

  3. Click the 3 dots ... to open the pop-up menu

  4. Select 'Set as Primary'

Considerations

Primary Language Hierarchy

Adjusting feature text in the primary language pathway will automatically adjust each non-primary language pathway.

Adjusting feature text in NON-primary language pathways will not affect the text of your primary language pathway.

Changing/Adding Features

Adding or changing question features in any language pathway will also add or change the features on every other language pathway.

Example 1: Adding a question to your German language pathway will add a new question to all other primary and non-primary language pathways.

Example 2: Adding a multiple-choice row to your German language pathway will add a new multiple-choice question row to all other primary and non-primary language pathways on that same question.

Example 3: Changing or adjusting your reaction type to your German language pathway will change the reactions on all other primary and non-primary language pathways.
