Translate or change text in your quiz

With Lantern you can create and translate quizzes into any language. We also support right-to-left (RTL) languages. You can also change the wording of default elements in the quiz for any language, which we cover later in this article.

Create quizzes in any language using ChatGPT or Claude

If you have Lantern connected to ChatGPT or Claude, your AI assistant can create quizzes in different languages in just a few minutes.

How you use this depends on whether you’re creating a new quiz for a specific language or managing the same quiz across multiple markets.

Create a new quiz in another language

If you want to create a new quiz directly in a language other than English, include the language in your prompt.

For example:

“Create a five-question pet product recommendation quiz in French with an email capture page before the results.”

The AI assistant can build the quiz directly in the requested language, including the questions, answers, and other quiz content.

Create the same quiz in multiple languages

If you manage multiple markets and want to offer the same quiz in different languages, you’ll need one separate quiz for each language.

You can ask your AI assistant to translate an existing quiz and create a new version while keeping the same quiz structure, settings, and product recommendations.

For example:

“Create a Spanish version of the Le produit idéal pour votre compagnon quiz as a separate quiz. Keep the same structure, settings, and product recommendations, but translate all quiz content into Spanish.”

Repeat this for each language you want to support so that every market has its own quiz that can be managed and published separately.

Creating and managing translations manually

You can manage translations directly from the app. When you create a new quiz, you’re able to type your questions, answers and page content in any language you choose directly inside the editor.

Default Lantern text such as button labels, quiz navigation elements is all in English.

To change these or translate them into a different language, you’ll need to create a new translation.

Creating translations

To add a language, open the app dashboard in the Shopify admin. Go to the Translations tab and click Add language.

After adding a language, you can translate the individual text labels on the detail page.

Setting the new quiz language

To use a specific language, you have to set it as the quiz language in the editor. Go to the "Quizzes" tab and click on the Pencil Icon to open the Quiz Builder.

Within the Quiz Builder, open the Theme settings on the bottom left of the page, and select the new language you just created. You'll immediately see the translated labels in the editor preview.

Publish the quiz to make the change visible to your customers!

You can do this by clicking on the "Publish" step on the top of the editor, and then click on either "Publish" or "Republish" depending on whether this was your first time publishing your flow.

That's it! Your Quiz is now available in the language you just added.

If you would like your Quiz to be available in multiple languages, we recommend to create multiple quizzes: one for each language.

Changing the default text in the quiz

This applies if you want to keep your quiz in the same language but change the wording of specific buttons or labels.

For example, you might want to change “View more picks” on the Results Page to “Load more products”.

On the Results Page, open View More Button from the right-hand menu. Under Button Text Override, enter your new button text.

You can also change the Add to Cart and Add All to Cart button text on the Results Page.

To change button text on other quiz pages, including the Question, Opt-in, Welcome and Transition Pages, open Button Design from the right-hand menu in the Quiz Builder.
