⚠️ This functionality is not available to single page applications or any website where changing the language does not trigger a full page reload.

Deriving the locale from the page URL

The widget locale can be derived from the page URL when urlToLocaleMap is defined in config.

When a match is found between the current page URL and any key in the urlToLocaleMap, the widget will use the corresponding locale. If no match is found, the widget falls back to the locale specified in config.

Configuration

The urlToLocaleMap is an object where:

• Keys are part of the url that safely indentify the language
• Values are the corresponding locale codes that are supported by DigitalGenius, see the language documentation for a list of supported locales.
