      Update as of April 2021

      Hi everyone,

      This is Ewin from the Jira Service Management team. We’re excited to let you know that we’re evaluating this feature for our roadmap. We will post another update in a few months time. Alternatively, you can watch our public roadmap for regular roadmap updates. 

      Best,

      Ewin, Jira service management

       Problem Definition

      Currently, it's not possible to change the language of the widget. Even when we change the language on the browser or on the instance, the widget is still generated in English. The widget will follow the language configured for the Request type, request type field and the text configured in widget settings. However, for the hardcoded text, for example How can we help?, Contact us about, Powered by JIRA Service Desk, Your contact e-mail, and Send button can't be changed.

      Suggested Solution

      It would be great if we could choose different languages on the widget.

      Why this is important

      Some customer is not able to understand other language. So, it is better to standardized the language.

            f24fc1998546 We couldn't wait for Atlassian to move so we ended up building our own feedback widget around the embedded API. This is not documented anywhere but we just looked at the widget and figured out what API calls it sends out and how it is handled.

            For example searching articles in the service desk:

            https://jsd-widget.atlassian.com/api/embeddable/{data-key}/search?query={query}&limit=5
            

            For example submitting a ticket on the service desk:

            https://jsd-widget.atlassian.com/api/embeddable/{data-key}/request?requestTypeId={requestTypeId}
            
            body: {
              fields: [
                 {id: 'summary', value: '{summary}'}
                 {id: 'description', value: '{description}'}
                 {id: 'email', value: '{email}'}
              ]
            }
            

             

            Now you can build your own with as much customisation as you want

            This is somewhat of a dealbreaker for us - would be nice to be able to localize the support widget as we are localizing the rest of our SaaS app. It doesn't seem to be an obvious way to mimic the same functionality ourselves either using the API?

            A few months?? It is not 42 months since the update from April 2021...

            Not easy to understand time estimates from Atlassian.

            It is a shame to wait three years for translation of some buttons and fields and pay all this time using an incomplete version .

            It's understandable that JSD wasn't supporting multiple languages when it was first introduced as an ITSM solution for internal use only. But at least with the addition of a customer service template you cannot longer ignore the fact that customers do expect support in their language. There's no "maybe" or "We'll add that later". A product placed as a customer facing platform and not supporting the customer's language is simply not a solution - it's just unusable.

            You guys really need to sort this out. The widget is practically useless for me now. I think if you would let me translate the labels myself, that would be fine for now... or just add them to the language file? Can't be that hard no?

            I made simple example how to do this with custom coding utilizing MutationObserver functionality in modern browsers. You will have to adjust the snippet to your needs but can be done easily

            It's been 2 years since the last update?? Having support for multiple languages is an important feature to have. Just like @Florian mentioned "the Office National de la Langue Française could audit and fine the companies for not having full translations in French" so this is huge for anyone in Canada using this widget.
            This needs to be a higher priority. 200+ votes should be enough to tell you that people are looking for this update

            Having the ability to translate the widget would be incredibly helpful. In countries like mine (Chile), I had to create a manual to complete the widget since it is only available in English.

            Such an important feature should be already implemented. Please add this possibility because not all our customers can read in English and is very unprofessional to have two languages mixed
