I wish to be able to translate certain texts in the chat window

[davidroseboom]

Problem
I wish to be able to edit all text inside of the chatbox for translation purposes

Solution
Being able to edit the text inside of a chatbox via the script config tag

Additional context
I am talking about the texts that we are not yet able to edit such as the "Sent just now" & "Enter your email". The reason I wish to edit those is because my target audience is Dutch. Thanks in advance!

Questions, or need help getting started?
Feel free to ask below, or ping us on Slack :)

@makkiedavid makes sense! making "Enter your email" editable should be easy, so we'll probably do that first :)

("Sent just now" is dynamic, so that might be a bit trickier... since it shows up as "Sent 5 minutes ago", etc as time goes on)

@makkiedavid quick updates -- the "Enter your email" portion of this should be done by the end of today 👍 (we'll be adding an emailInputPlaceholder option where you can customize it)

Super! 😄

[reichert621]

@makkiedavid you should now be able to add emailInputPlaceholder to your Papercups config to customize it :)

Working very well, thank you! Looking forward to being able to edit dynamic texts, too.

glad to hear it! editing dynamic text will probably not happen in the short term (unless we can think of a relatively simple way to do it), so i'm going to close this for now and move this task to papercups-io/chat-window#21
