Translations are used for three primary purposes:
- Multi-Language Sites: Manually translate your website and provide a static copy in more than one language. You can create a YAML file that maps the translation key to a value for each language and then uses the (short for ) filter in Liquid to render the proper value based on the current user’s language.
- Date Format: Create a common format for a date, then use the (short for ) filter to render the date and time across the platform consistently. This feature is useful for changing how date/time is easily displayed everywhere or customising on a per-site basis.
- Flash messages: Define system messages returned by our API. Please visit our GraphQL and Liquid documentation for more information.
