Important Notes
You can translate all Instagram sharing instructions (both photo and video) displayed on the microsite.
Only modify the bold text inside the provided script — changing other parts may cause the script to stop working.
Always test your translation after saving to ensure it appears correctly.
How to Add a Translation Header Snippet
Step 1
Go to your event’s Microsite section on the Snappic Dashboard.
Click Edit next to your active microsite template.
Step 2
Click on the Add Header Snippet button located next to the template thumbnail.
Step 3
Paste the translation script into the snippet box (see example below).
Modify only the text in bold to your desired language.
Step 4
Click Save Header Snippet, then Save All Changes to apply the update.
Step 5
Open your microsite and test the Instagram sharing pop-up to confirm the translation is displaying as intended.
Editable Script Example
Below is the default English version of the Instagram sharing snippet. Replace the bolded text with your translated text — for example, French, Spanish, or German.
<script>
var text_translation = {
"gallery_button": "Gallery",
"gif_tab": "GIF",
"photo_tab": "Photo",
"video_tab": "Video",
"instagram_video": {
"title": "Instagram Video",
"share": "Share",
"success_message": "You should receive an email with your Instagram-ready video shortly.",
"step_1": "Enter your e-mail address and click share.",
"step_2": "Once you receive your e-mail, save the attachment.",
"step_3": "Upload your Instagram-ready video with the Instagram app."
},
"instagram_photo": { "title": "Instagram Photo",
"share": "Download", "step_1": "Click download.",
"step_2": "You can then save the photo to your phone.",
"step_3": "Open Instagram and then you can choose your photo to share." }
};
</script>
Example: French Translation
<script>
var text_translation = {
"gallery_button": "Galerie",
"gif_tab": "GIF",
"photo_tab": "Photo",
"video_tab": "Vidéo",
"instagram_video": {
"title": "Vidéo Instagram",
"share": "Partager",
"success_message": "Vous recevrez bientôt un e-mail avec votre vidéo prête pour Instagram.",
"step_1": "Entrez votre adresse e-mail et cliquez sur Partager.",
"step_2": "Une fois que vous recevez l'e-mail, enregistrez la pièce jointe.",
"step_3": "Téléversez votre vidéo prête pour Instagram à l’aide de l’application Instagram."
},
"instagram_photo": {
"title": "Photo Instagram",
"share": "Télécharger",
"step_1": "Cliquez sur Télécharger.",
"step_2": "Vous pouvez ensuite enregistrer la photo sur votre téléphone.", "step_3": "Ouvrez Instagram et sélectionnez votre photo à partager."
}
};
</script>
Testing Your Translation
Once your script is saved:
Refresh the Microsite page in your browser.
Use a test email or device to perform an Instagram share.
Confirm that all pop-up text displays in your chosen language.
💡 Tip: If text doesn’t appear correctly, check that quotation marks and punctuation were not altered outside the bold text.
