Add language translations to your chat widget

In order to add multiple languages ​to your chat widget, you have to:

1. Create a text file with the translations of the languages you wish.

You can download the text file to see the format.

2. Save the file to a folder on your website's server.

3. Finally, on every page where the chat widget is installed, you must enter two javascript commands, to set the language and the text file URL.

e.g. If you would like to translate the chat widget in French, you should enter the following commands, just after the chat widget code.
