Do you have a diverse group of employees who speak various languages? Do not worry, Headlight has you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Headlight supports Jinja<\/a>-based templates in most of the configuration files. This means that aside from using parameter references <\/a>in your templates, you can also use if-else statements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature can be leveraged to enable multilingual workflows templates that speak to your employees in their language. Each parameter in your workflows that is of type employee<\/em> has a language_code<\/em> attribute in ISO 639-1 format, which is a 2-letter code in lower case letters, e.g. nl<\/em>, en<\/em>, or de<\/em>. This code corresponds with the language setting that the employees has selected in their account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I create language conditions in my template?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can create language conditions in the same way as you can create other conditions in Headlight. Concretely, you use the following syntax:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
{% if exampleTest %}\n     Text if exampleTest is true\n{% elif exampleTest2 %}\n     Text if exampleTest2 is true\n{% else %} Fallback result if none of the other conditions were true\n{% endif %}<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The above structure applied to a multilingual message could look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
{% if driver.language_code == ‘nl’ %}Goedemiddag {{driver.first_name}}!
{% elif driver.language_code == ‘en’  %}Good afternoon  {{driver.first_name}}!
{% else %}Good afternoon  {{driver.first_name}}!
{% endif %}<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Of course, you can encapsulate your entire message and still use other parameters inside of the blocks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
