Custom Languages

You can choose one of 20+ languages for the visual builder's UI when initializing BEE Plugin. If you want to use custom language strings, however, you will need to use a Custom Language. This feature is available on BEE Plugin Core plan and above. If you're on the Essentials plan, upgrade a development application for free to try this and other Core-level features.

Using a translation URL

You may now override the default BEE Plugin language file by providing a URL to your own translations. This is an advanced feature and will replace all languages used by the editor with the languages defined in the custom file.




var beeConfig = {
      uid: config.uid,
      ...
      translationsUrl: 'https://www.yourdomain.com/xx-XX.json',
      ...
}

Using a JSON Object

The easiest method to override specific text labels is to pass a JSON object in your bee config, which contains the segments of the language file you want to override.



var beeConfig = {
      uid: config.uid,
      ...
      translations: {
         ...
      }
      ...
}

Example: overriding the Help icon label in the default toolbar




var beeConfig = {
      uid: config.uid,
      ...
      translations: {
         "bee-common-top-bar": {
           help: "Support"
         },
      }
      ...
}

Example: overriding the Rows tab label in the sidebar




var beeConfig = {
      uid: config.uid,
      ...
      translations: {
          "bee-common-widget-bar": {
            "structure": "Catalog"
          }
        },
      }
      ...
}
