Overview
AdvocateHub now supports direct invitations to users with multilingual URL parameters, enabling a seamless sign-up experience in the user's preferred language. By appending language-specific parameters to join code URLs, users are directed to a translated sign-up page and can immediately access content in that language during their first session. This feature simplifies the process of engaging with a global audience while maintaining the flexibility of language preferences.
Information
You can now invite users directly to a translated sign up page with new multilingual URL parameters.
This feature gives you the ability to send Influitive Join Code URLs that immediately open the content to a specific language. For example, if you want to invite a collection of French users, it’s best to send a sign-up link that directs them to a French sign-up page! Once they signed up, they will access the Hub's content in the same translated language. This is now possible with the addition of a simple bit of text to any URL indicating which language the page should be presented in.
Please note that this method of joining will only retain the language on the first session, it will not automatically change the user's Language option in their profile.
Here's how to set it up
- 1. In your AdvocateHub, create a Group that will only be used for this purpose. Ensure that you have set up a join code. Follow along with this article on setting up a Group if you are not sure how .
For example: -
https://hubname.influitive.com/join/starter
- 2. Once you have your join code, add the following URL Parameter at the end of the URL.
-
?lang=language_code
List of language_code:
French: fr
German: de
Spanish: es
Portuguese: pt
Italian: it
Chinese (Simplified): zh_CN
Japanese: ja
