Language & transliteration
Vuukle widgets render in the visitor’s locale automatically. Translation strings ship as JSON files inside the widget bundle — there’s no browser-side override config to fiddle with.
How locale is detected
The widgets pick a language by checking, in order:
- The page’s
<html lang="…">attribute, if set. - The browser’s
navigator.language. - The site default configured in the dashboard.
Whichever resolves first wins. If you want to force a specific language site-wide, set it in Vuukle dashboard → Site Settings → Comment Widget → Language.
Supported languages
Out of the box: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, Turkish, Polish, Japanese, Korean, Simplified & Traditional Chinese. The full list — and every translation key — is in the widget’s localization JSON bundle, refreshed periodically.
Transliteration (Indic, Arabic, Cyrillic…)
Transliteration lets commenters type phonetically and have the widget render the local script — useful for Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Arabic, Russian, and similar non-Latin alphabets.
Enable it per site from Site Settings → Comment Widget → Transliteration. Once on, a toggle appears in the comment editor toolbar so commenters can switch back to plain Latin input at any time.
