System Settings: Languages

The language filter feature in Omnilert allows you to selectively target users based on their preferred language.  Ideally, messages sent to a targeted language should be written in that language by a native speaker.

IMPORTANT: Omnilert does not auto-translate messages from English to other languages. Messages will be sent in the language they are written in.

 Select the languages will be offered as options for subscribers to choose:

Once checked, the new language option will be available for subscribers immediately.

Choosing a language when sending alerts

When composing a message, simply select the desired language from the Language filter option. Only subscribers who are in the selected group and have the selected language will receive the alert.

Again, the message itself will not be translated and must be written in the appropriate language for the chosen group.

For example, if I were to select a group ("School of Business") and filter on a language ("Spanish"), then my alert would only be sent to members of my "School of Business" who have also selected "Spanish" as their language of preference.

Subscriber Language Preference

Subscribers may set their own language preferences on the Account page of the Subscriber Portal.

After signing up, the subscriber must go to the Account page within their portal and select languages preferred. 

Note: When a language is chosen for an outgoing message, it will only be sent to those subscribers who have selected that language in their profiles.

Supported Language Filter List

The following is the list of filter names provided within Omnilert's language settings.

The languages for subscribers can also be included in Subscriber data added via upload using Omnilert's Subscriber Import tools.

Note:

Voice services should use a recorded message when using language filters to ensure that the message plays properly. The text-to-speech engine of Omnilert provides English language only for pronunciation.
