Questions & AnswersHow can I add [french] or [english] caption to my video to change video when we change language?

I did not find any solution to have video or gallery of images for French or English in Squarespace Pacific template.
When I put the [english] or [french] in the caption, this does not work, neither for video thumbnail.

Will you find a solution soon for this?
Thanks

I have some sort of a solution for the time being. Make a gallery page for each language with 1 video. Use the [english] etc as a title of the video.
On the page you want the video’s to appear don’t use the gallery block but use 2 summarize walls, 1 for each video. The only thing a don’t like about this solution is that you have to display the title otherwise the [english] caption to only show 1 summarize wall won’t work.

Hey. 
The video translation is not yet integrated in the Multilingualizer, but Dave is currently working on it and it will be added into one of the future updates. Please bear with us while we go about that.
Kind regards!

not resolved, not implemented, it seems that Dave is working on it…

I tried this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOZdYsI46NE&feature=youtu.be
and added a title [Dutch] and [English] to the galleries, as that is how it works with photo galleries, but unfortunately it didn’t work.
But the lightbox idea is awesome I think.

It has been 9 month now. I really want to start an adwords campaign next week and need this feature. Everything is on hold now.

Since the las blog (feb 10, 2017), that seems to work with the caption (ex: http://www.perifmedia.com/test-video-par-langue) but when I put ‘no dot display caption’ that is not working (ex: http://www.perifmedia.com/test-video-no-caption).

This was implemented a while back – you can add [english] or [french] to the caption of an image or description and it will only display that video for those languages.

muriel replied 7 years ago

I tried that. It then only worked when you displayed the title which you don’t want because that’s ugly.
Things took so long to get fixed, I quit using the multilingualizer. You could see alle languages for a second while loading, you could see titles. I was not able to translate blog categories. I was not able to use different download buttons.

Yes, it works with the caption (ex: http://www.perifmedia.com/test-video-par-langue) but the [french] appears (should be not visible) and when I change to ‘no dot display caption’ that is not working (ex: http://www.perifmedia.com/test-video-no-caption).
Is it possible to fix that?
