GoLinks localized links allow for teams to choose different landing URLs for users to land on based on their location. This can be useful for teams that are spread across the world wanting to ensure teams are getting the right information based on their location. If teams use different languages based on their region, these localized links can help ensure that teams are only viewing the copy that is in their home language. The following will outline how to create localized links and how to add localized links to existing go links.
Creating Localized Links
- Open up the create go/link modal.
It is highly recommended that Localized Links are created from the dashboard create modal in case you need to switch between multiple tabs. Creating a go link from the extension will require you to not leave the tab you are currently on.
- Once the create modal is opened, users will fill in the url they are wanting to direct to. This will be the default option that users will fallback to if their localized URL does not work.
- Below the default URL, there will be a button to “Add Localized URL”. This will open another data field where a different URL address can be added.
Next to the URL name will be a data field for the country’s flag. Hovering over this flag will let a user know which flag it is.
If the flag is not the correct one, clicking it will open an option to change the country of choice.
- Repeat adding localized URL data fields until all have been added.
- Once all localized URLs have been added, users can set the go/link name and any aliases for the go/link.
- Once the go/link name has been added, adding tags and a description will make it easier to find the go/link.
- Once all data fields have been completed, users should make sure they click the create button to set the link live for all teammates.
Adding Localized Links to existing Go Links
If a go/link already exists, teams have the ability to add localized links via the edit menu. If a workspace has edits set to admin and moderator only, users will need to reach out to an admin or moderator to make any requested changes.
- In order to add localized links to an existing go/link, users should search for the specific link in their GoLinks dashboard.
- Once found, click the three dots in the upper right corner and choose the edit option from the drop down.
- With the edit menu open, users will follow the same steps taken for creating a new localized link above.
- Teams are able to add additional localized links at any time using this edit menu.
