Resource Translation

Resources are binary content found on the sites, such as images, PDFs, CSS and JS files, etc. Please note that the content of these resources is not extracted for translation, so you have to translate / edit them separately.

Replacing Images with Localized Versions

You have the option to replace images, downloadable files and other resources with their localized version.

  1. Please make sure that you see the appropriate target language (flag) selected on the top navigation bar.
  2. Navigate to the original image in the Pages list.
  3. Click on the thumbnail image.
  4. Click on the blue MARK LINK AS TRANSLATABLE or the MANAGE TRANSLATIONS button on the right.
  5. Click on the SELECT A FILE button, open the desired image and then click on the blue UPLOAD button.
  6. The original image will be replaced and the new image shown on the translated site immediately.
  7. Check the Preview to see if the image was replaced properly.
  8. Repeat these steps for all images and all target languages that need localized versions.

Please note that you can replace only 1 resource, for 1 target language at one time.

Extraction Issues with data-image Attribute

Images might be inside a “data-image” attribute in the source code. In such cases you have to set the “data-image” attribute up to be translated as a link in the Advanced Settings screen. The <img src> attributes are recognized by default as URLs, while data-* attributes are not, as they can contain any sort of data, and must be configured manually to tailor the behavior to the current project’s needs.

The image might also be drawn from a subdomain. In this case you have to create a second project for the subdomain, mutually link the two projects together, and add the resource in the subdomain’s project. In this case you have to publish the two projects together, in order to preserve the mapping.
