Script languages and translations

2 min readUpdated Markdown

You write a script once, in one language, and LanaChat translates its texts into the language of each conversation when they are sent: a German fan gets the German version, a Brazilian fan the Portuguese one. Media and prices stay the same in every language.

Which language does a script go out in? #

The language of the conversation, chosen by the rules in Which language the AI replies in: the fan's language when it is clear, otherwise the language of the Telegram account, then of its market.

What is translated? #

  • Translated: the texts you wrote in advance, such as script messages and captions, KYC questions and follow-up messages.
  • Not translated: the messages a team member types by hand in Live Convs. They go out exactly as typed.
  • Never changed: media, prices and the order of the steps.

How do I write a script that translates well? #

  1. Write in the language you know best: the translation starts from your text.
  2. Keep sentences short and natural. Slang and puns translate badly.
  3. Write amounts in figures ("500 Stars"), so they stay the same in every language.
  4. Test the result in the Playground: write as a fan in another language and read what she sends.

Tip If a creator should only ever write in one language, choose Always her main language on her sheet in Creators. Her scripts then go out in that language only.

See Scripts to write the steps, and Write a good script description for the goal of each script. Agencies with fans in several countries can read one Console, 30 Telegram accounts.

FAQ #

Do I need to write one script per language? #

No. Prices are in Stars and stay the same in every language. Only the texts change.

Yes. Turn off Match the fan's language on that account in Telegram Accounts: its messages then go out in its primary language only. See Which language the AI replies in.
