Hello Chargify
im considering implementing you system in our new webbased payment system, but our target group who will use this payment system would not be able to handle a English text, they would need a local language (Danish in this case). Is it possible to setup the system, sow our costumers will receive a Danish presentation?

Hello Jesper,

Thank you for your interest in Chargify.

As of now, we do not have support for multiple languages on our hosted pages, although you should be able to accomplish it via the API.

I am forwarding your query to our technical sales team for their review.

Regards,

Jay G.

Hi there,

Jay already hinted to this... a few parts of our system are customizable by you, such as some of the emails we send. But I'm afraid a lot is in English and cannot be changed right now.

Sorry about that!

This really is a shame. I really don't understand why this always happens with these great saas services - don't you realize that there's a huge economy outside of the US / UK?

I can translate it to Norwegian. If you need someone to translate.

I'm having the same issue, I need to translate the page into Swedish. Since the page allow JavaScript manipulation we'll try to use JS to translate the page ourself. Has anyone tried that? A bigger issue is the currency symbol which should be placed at the end instead of the beginning. Do you have the same problem with DKK? Maybe JS can help us here as well. But then we need to create our own transaction email too.

@Email - you can change labels with javascript, e.g.:

$("label[for='subscription_payment_profile_attributes_first_name']").html("Fornavn");

did anybody successfully manage to change the language to danish/swedish and/or norwegian?

@David: Yes I did translate the page with JS (jQuery selectors)

Something like:

$('#hosted-payment-form h2:first').html("Kortuppgifter");
$('#hosted-payment-form h2:eq(1)').html("Dina uppgifter")
$('label[for="subscription_payment_profile_attributes_full_number"]').html("* Kreditkortsnummer");
$('label[for="subscription_payment_profile_attributes_expiration_month"]').html("* Går ut");

etc.

Hi Emil.

Thanks for the quick answer.. 

What did you do with the "auto-generated" text such as "(then kr199.00 at first renewal on 11/25/2011)" ?

@David I didn't show you because I'm not finished yet ;) This is how my code look right now:

 

var recurring_charges = $('#summary-recurring-charges').html();
recurring_charges = recurring_charges.match(/\d+/)[0];
$('#summary-recurring-charges').html(Math.round(recurring_charges * 0.8) + " SEK/månad");
$('#total h3').html('Dagens beställning: <span id="todays-charge">' + recurring_charges + ' SEK inkl. moms</span>');
$('#total .tint').html('(efter det <span id="future-charge">' + recurring_charges + ' SEK</span> inkl. moms/månad)');

 

My site isn't live yet and I'm still figuring out how to best display the charge. My code assumes a lot of things like I know I will never ever use a trial etc.
