Transifex

Transifex enables robust localization across your user base, no matter the language.

The Braze and Transifex integration leverages Connected Content to allow you to pull a resource string collection and include relevant translations in your messages instead of lines of language-based conditional formatting. This automates translation and frees up your teams to focus on delivering brilliant customer experiences.

Prerequisites

Requirement Description
Transifex Account A Transifex account is required to take advantage of this partnership.

Integration

The Transifex integration uses Transifex’s resource translations API. The following cURL will allow you to see if your account has content values associated with translations.

First, input the <ORGANIZATION_NAME>, <PROJECT_NAME>, and <RESOURCE_NAME> found in your Transifex account. Next, replace <LANGUAGE> with the language code you would like to filter translations by, and <TRANSIFEX_BEARER_TOKEN> with your Transifex bearer token.

curl --request GET \
     --url 'https://rest.api.transifex.com/resource_translations?filter\[resource\]=o:<ORGANIZATION_NAME>:p:<PROJECT_NAME>:r:<RESOURCE_NAME>&filter\[language\]=l:<LANGUAGE>' \
     --header 'Accept: application/vnd.api+json' \
     --header 'Authorization: Bearer 1/c500429f7b89ff62b8015475ed68d90a2295302'

For example, if your Transifex project is located at https://www.transifex.com/appboy-3/french2/french_translationspo/, the project_name will be “french2” and the resource_name will be “french_translationspo”.

Connected Content message example

This example code snippet utilizes the Transifex resource translation API and the user’s language attribute. Based on your needs, you can then loop through the string objects and pull in the relevant content using the following Liquid: ``.
