Translation & Multilingual Setup in WiserReview

WiserReview lets you translate review content, collect reviews in your customer’s language, and customise widget text for multi-language sites. This guide covers all three.

Review Translation (AI-Powered)

Translate your existing and incoming review content (review title and review text) into multiple languages using AI. Translation uses a credit-based system.

Purchase Translation Credits

Go to your WiserReview Dashboard and purchase an AI Review Translation Pack based on the number of reviews you need to translate.

How Credits Work

One review translated into one language uses one credit.

Action Credits Used Example
1 review → 1 language 1 credit Translate 1 review to French
1 review → 2 languages 2 credits Translate 1 review to French + German
100 reviews → 2 languages 200 credits Bulk translate to French + German

Translate Existing Reviews

  1. Go to Manage Reviews → Translate.

  1. Choose the languages you want to translate into. You can select multiple languages.

  1. Click Translate to start the translation.

The AI translates both the review title and review text. Reviewer name, star rating, images, and videos stay as-is.

Auto-Translate New Reviews

Set up automatic translation so new reviews are translated as soon as they come in.

  1. Go to Forms → Customize.

  1. Navigate to the Language tab.
  2. Select the languages you want new reviews to be automatically translated into.

Note: Each new review uses credits per language selected. If you select 3 languages, each new review uses 3 credits.

Collect Reviews in Multiple Languages

If you receive orders from multiple countries, you can send review request emails in the customer’s language. This increases response rates and improves the customer experience.

Step 1: Create a Review Form for the Target Language

  1. Go to Forms → Create New Form.
  2. Set up the form with field labels and instructions in the target language.

Step 2: Add Language-Specific Email Template

  1. Go to Review Automation.
  2. Click Edit Email Template on the campaign you want to customize.

  1. Click Add Languages.
  2. Select the language you want to add.
  3. Click Clone from Default Email Template — this copies your existing content as a starting point.

Step 3: Edit the Translated Email

The cloned content will be auto-translated. Review and edit the translated email content as needed.

Step 4: Link the Language-Specific Review Form

Under the form selection in the email template, choose the review form you created in Step 1 for that language.

Note: Make sure the review form language matches the email template language.

Supported Campaign Types

You can set up language-specific email templates for all campaign types:

  • First-time review request — initial email after purchase
  • Reminder emails — follow-up if customer hasn’t left a review
  • Media review request — request for photo/video reviews
  • Incentive campaign — offer a reward for leaving a review

Widget Text Translation

This translates the widget interface text — labels like “Write a Review”, “Load more”, “Verified” — not the review content itself.

Single Language (Default)

By default, you can show your widget text in any one language from the dashboard.

  1. Go to Display Reviews → Widgets.
  2. Open the widget and go to Language settings.
  3. Choose the language. The widget text will auto-translate.
  4. Review the auto-translated text and correct if needed.

Multi-Language Sites (URL-Based)

If your site serves the same products in multiple languages using URL paths (e.g. site.com/en/, site.com/fr/, site.com/de/), you can show widget text in the correct language per page.

How it works:

  • Keep your default widget text in your site’s default language (set in the dashboard).
  • Add a translation script to your site’s <head> or <body> tag for each additional language.
  • The script uses a variable named wrTranslateLangCode_XX where XX is the language code.

Variable naming:

wrTranslateLangCode_en  →  English
wrTranslateLangCode_fr  →  French
wrTranslateLangCode_de  →  German
wrTranslateLangCode_es  →  Spanish
wrTranslateLangCode_ar  →  Arabic

Example — Adding French translation:

Add this script in your site’s <head> or <body> tag:

<script>
var wrTranslateLangCode_fr = {
  "glrytxt": "Photos et vidéos clients",
  "srchrvwph": "Rechercher des avis",
  "srtbytxt": "Trier par :",
  "mstrcntxt": "Plus récent",
  "hghrtngtxt": "Note la plus élevée",
  "lwrtngtxt": "Note la plus basse",
  "picfrstxt": "Photos d'abord",
  "ldmrtxt": "Charger plus",
  "hdrttltxt": "Avis clients",
  "hdrrcmndtxt1": "Recommanderait",
  "hdrwrttxt": "Écrire un avis",
  "aigentabttl": "Sujets populaires",
  "aigensmryttl": "Résumé des avis IA",
  "flbckun": "Anonyme",
  "vrfdtxt": "Vérifié",
  "incntvtxt": "Incité",
  "admnrplytxt": "Réponse du propriétaire",
  "ppvrfdtxt": "Vérifié",
  "ppincntvtxt": "Incité",
  "emtytxt": "Soyez le premier à laisser un avis !",
  "prdrvtbtxt": "Avis produit",
  "shprvtbtxt": "Avis boutique"
};
</script>
