Change the Default Language of the Branded Tracking Page
Overview
AfterShip Tracking allows you to set up and display your branded tracking page in multiple languages. By default, your branded tracking page's language is set to English.
Choosing your default language is paramount in setting the translation flow of the additional languages you’ll add and set your tracking page in. This is primarily because the duplicate versions of your tracking page will be created in the default language you set as you add new languages to your tracking page.
The default version of your tracking page is the one the customers will see if you have not translated your tracking page into the visitor’s browser language.
Set your default language
- Access the editor of your preferred tracking page variation by clicking Actions > Edit
- From the Switch language panel, click Manage languages to enter the Languages dashboard
- Click the Manage icon {...} and click Set as default to set that language as default
- Go back to the main editor and hit Save to finish the process.
Use language parameter
By inserting the language parameters in your tracking page URL, you can redirect visitors to the target language page.
- Universal URL:
https://{domain}/?lang=de
Example 1: https://vidhyaaftership.aftership.com/?lang=it/
Example 2: https://vidhyaaftership.aftership.com/?lang=zh-Hans/
- Specific page URL:
https://domain.com/?page-name=brandname&lang=zh-Hans
Example 1: https://aftershipdemo.aftership.com/?page-name=vidhya&lang=zh-Hans/
In the above examples, “it” and “zh-Hans” represents the language code. By adding these language parameters to the tracking page URL, customers will directly land on the tracking page of that language.
Change browser settings
You can change your browser's default language settings to set up a native language display as per the default language settings in the AfterShip Tracking admin. This way your branded tracking page will automatically display in the language you've set as your default language.
