Language variants: one post in Hungarian, English and German
Turn one post into culturally adapted versions in your other languages – not a literal translation – on the channels that speak them, each waiting for its own approval.
Updated:
If you post in more than one language (say, with a Hungarian and a German brand), you don't have to reinvent a post that worked. In the post editor, the Language variants card makes versions of it in your other languages.
- Open the post. The Language variants card lists, per language, the channels whose brand writes in that language.
- Tick the channels that should get a variant (up to 4 at once).
- Click Create variant. Sayweek puts it on the same day and time if that slot is free, otherwise on the channel's next free slot.
- Each variant is its own draft: review it, edit it and approve it – nothing goes out by itself.
How is it different from a translation?
- Idioms are replaced with the target language's own expressions instead of being translated word for word.
- Examples and references become familiar to the reader – facts, numbers and claims stay the same. If a swap would need a new fact, you get a check question.
- Formality fits the language: German uses the formal “Sie” by default, Hungarian and English follow your brand's voice.
- The target brand's rules apply: its banned words, its voice and its regulated-industry safety net.
Why don't I see a German channel?
A variant can only go to a channel whose brand writes in that language. Set a brand's language under Settings → Brands & channels.
