Typically, the Mailchimp embedded form code is used as is. After you create your embedded signup form, copy the embed code and paste it into your website. To translate parts of the embedded form, you'll need to manually edit the code.
This is an advanced feature and is recommended for users familiar with custom coding. Our Support team won't be able to troubleshoot issues with your custom code, so we suggest you contact your developer or hire a Mailchimp Expert if you need assistance.
In this article, you'll learn how to translate the embedded form code.
English is the default language for field labels, the subscribe button, and the form's title. However, any fields you translate in the Form Builder appear in the embed code.
To translate the form title for your embedded form, follow these steps.
A preview of your new form title shows as you make changes. If you want to hide the title from your form, toggle the slider off.
To translate the form field labels and help text for your embedded form, follow these steps.
Click the form field you want to translate.
To edit a form field, it must be enabled. Toggle on a form field with the slider on the Form Fields tab, or with the Enabled slider in a specific form field.
In the Display name field, type your translated form field label.
This will change the form field name that displays on your embedded form. When you change a form field’s display name, the corresponding audience field value doesn’t change. To translate your audience fields, edit them manually in your audience settings.
In the Help text field, type your translated help text.
To translate your embedded form’s subscribe button, you'll need to copy and paste the embedded form code to your website’s HTML, then make changes manually.
To copy and paste your embedded form code, follow these steps.
To edit your embedded form code, search or browse your code for this HTML.
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" "id="mc-
embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
Then, replace "Subscribe" in the value element with the equivalent label in the translation language. For example:
<input type="submit" value="Suscribirse" name="subscribe" "id="mc-
embedded-subscribe" class="button"></div>
Excellent! You’ve translated your embedded form’s subscribe button.
The embedded form uses a validation plugin to present error and success messages when someone fills out your form. The translations for the error and success messages are statically generated when the embedded form is created. These default messages appear in the embed code only when your default language is set to a language other than English. The static messages can be translated manually within the form code.
We have translations available in the following languages (see the full list of localization files):
When a subscribe attempt is passed along to our servers, additional messages are shown based on the default language you set in the Form Builder.
The additional messages also auto-translate based on the language settings of the contact’s browser.
If your default language is set to a language other than English, follow these steps to translate error messages.
If your default language is set to English, follow these steps to translate the error messages.
Note
Subscribers who fill out your embedded form may see HTML5 validation messages produced by their web browsers before the form data is passed along to Mailchimp's servers.
All set! New contacts who sign up to join your audience will see your translated embedded form.
