    Hi,

    I am creating a multi-language website with different domains. Depending on the language (and the country the website is built for), a countdown should have different dates. How can I achieve this, since the date of the animated countdown cannot be set using string translations? I would like to avoid using the WordPress editor for different languages (every website has the same layout).

    Thank you in advance!

    This is about the translation of “hours”, “minutes”, etc, correct? I need to set different dates (e. g. countdown to 2027-01-01 for German and countdown to 2027-04-01 for the English version).

    Hi,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    Since the countdown date itself cannot be translated via string translations, the recommended approach is to add multiple Countdown elements (one per language). You can then control the visibility of each countdown with custom css depending on the active language.

    Add a separate Countdown element for each language and assign custom css class names, for example:

    av-custom-lang-countdown av-custom-lang-countdown-en <-- for EN
av-custom-lang-countdown av-custom-lang-countdown-de  <-- for DE

    Set all countdowns to be hidden by default:

    .av-custom-lang-countdown {
  display: none;
}

    Then only show the correct countdown based on the active language:

    html[lang="en-US"] .av-custom-lang-countdown-en {
  display: block;
}

html[lang="de-DE"] .av-custom-lang-countdown-de {
  display: block;
}

    Best regards,
    Ismael
