Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Multi-Language Campaign
Your campaign can be available in more than one language, this way you will be able to reach a bigger audience that can know more about your goals and reach your donation goals successfully.
Add more languages to your Campaign
StockCrowd campaigns can be in one or more languages, however, when first creating your campaign, it is mandatory for you to select a base language for it.
👉 In case you want to change it, you can do so by accessing Content > General Configuration
And within the section Main data > Language you will be able to change it if necessary.
The available languages we have on the system are the following:
English | Spanish |
French | Catalan |
German | Basque |
Portuguese | Galician |
Italian | Japanese |
If you want your campaign to be available in more than one language in this article we will explain how you can add translations.
When you first create your campaign you need to select a base language for the campaign. You can then later add translations for the other languages that you need.
How to add a translation
❗️Please keep in mind that these steps do not apply to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) campaigns. In order to know how to translate them please check this section.

💡 "By default version" refers to the base language of the campaign.
Here, you will have to click the language you want to translate to, and after adding all your text, click on Save.
