Guides: formatting of translated language

Hello everyone!

Is it possible to have a different formatting for a translated language?

For example, the original sentence would be: 

"Hello world!"

Translated into Spanish I would like to have every second letter bold: 

"Hola mundo!"

And into German I like it italic: 

"Hallo Welt!"

Sure, I would have to setup each bold letter manually, but currently I don't even see that option. It seems like I can configure the format just for the original language. 

 

Thank you!

  • The only way I can think of doing that would be to have 3 separate guides, and in the segmentation include specific rules that state the guide for Spanish users can be viewed by users with a language of Spanish, and so forth.

    Then import a translation file for the Spanish guide (similarly for the German one) 

    I appreciate it doesn't scale well and isn't a great solution but in case it helps.

  • Thank you for answering!

    Does it mean that it is actually not possible to format other languages, right? @pendosupport

  • I haven't played with translated guides much, but if it's done well I would expect you should be able to use the CSS :lang() selector to do this. Add a code block with custom CSS that does something like this (I haven't tested this, it's meant as a starting point only)

    :lang(es) :nth-letter(odd) {
        font-weight: 700;
    }
    :lang(de) {
      font-style: italic;
    }

  • Hi Kaleb Haugen, thanks for the answer!
    Can you maybe tell me where I can find the CSS option...? I think it was available when you launched the designer last year. But now I don't see that option anywhere anymore...

  • Depending on your configuration you may have custom code blocks disabled. You can find more information about them here: https://support.pendo.io/hc/en-us/articles/360032206011-Using-Custom-Code-Block
