Safe fallbacks and checks
If you leave the display name and suggested questions empty in your default language, the chat uses the name and questions from your agent's settings. Text you have not translated yet falls back to your default language, so no visitor sees an empty greeting.
Help page categories, quick links and privacy
Some layouts have extra texts, and those are translatable too. The help page layout can show up to 8 categories with 1 to 4 questions each, and layouts with quick links can show up to 4 links. You can also add your privacy policy address, which the chat links to from the form where visitors leave their details.
Your default language, suggested for you
When OneType reads your website, it can suggest your site's language as the chat's default language, along with your site's name and main color.
