Customizing the chat window messages
------------------------------------
Olark lets you customize the appearance of the Chat window by changing
location, colors and messages text. While you can configure these on
the Olark website, sometimes one set of messages is not enough. For
example, if you want to localize your website, you want to address every
visitor in their own language. Olark allows you to set the messages on
a per-page basis, and the :ttag:`olark` tag supports this feature by way
of the following context variables:
========================================== =============================

As an example, you could set the texts site-wide base on the current
language using a context processor that you add to the
:data:`TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS` list in :file:`settings.py`::
OLARK_TEXTS = {
'en': {
'welcome title': "Click for Live Help",
'chatting_title': "Live Help: Now chatting",
...
},
'nl': {
'welcome title': "Klik voor online hulp",
'chatting_title': "Online hulp: in gesprek",
...
},
...
}
def set_olark_texts(request):
lang = request.LANGUAGE_CODE.split('-', 1)[0]
texts = OLARK_TEXTS.get(lang)
if texts is None:
texts = OLARK_TEXTS.get('en')
return dict(('olark_%s' % k, v) for k, v in texts.items())
