Content Localization
Automatic Translation
Frontrow provides AI-powered translation services for content metadata, descriptions, and user-generated content.
// Translate content metadata
const translatedContent = await frontrow.translation.translateContent({
contentId: contentId,
targetLanguages: ['es', 'fr', 'de', 'ja'],
fields: ['title', 'description', 'tags']
});
// Generate subtitles in multiple languages
const subtitles = await frontrow.subtitles.generate({
videoId: videoId,
languages: ['en', 'es', 'fr'],
autoTranslate: true
});
Manual Translation Workflow
// Create translation project
const project = await frontrow.translation.createProject({
contentId: contentId,
sourceLanguage: 'en',
targetLanguages: ['es', 'fr', 'de'],
translators: ['translator1@example.com', 'translator2@example.com']
});
// Submit content for translation
await frontrow.translation.submitForTranslation({
projectId: project.id,
content: {
title: 'Advanced Web Development',
description: 'Learn modern web development...',
chapters: [...]
}
});
// Review and approve translations
const translations = await frontrow.translation.getTranslations(project.id);
await frontrow.translation.approveTranslation(project.id, 'es');
Regional Compliance
Frontrow automatically handles regional compliance requirements to ensure your content meets local regulations.
GDPR Compliance (Europe)
// Handle GDPR consent
const consent = await frontrow.privacy.requestConsent(userId, {
region: 'EU',
purposes: ['analytics', 'marketing', 'personalization'],
language: userLanguage
});
// Process data deletion requests
await frontrow.privacy.processDataDeletion({
userId: userId,
reason: 'user_request',
region: 'EU'
});
CCPA Compliance (California)
// Handle CCPA opt-out requests
await frontrow.privacy.processCCPAOptOut({
userId: userId,
optOutType: 'sale_of_data'
});
// Provide data access
const userData = await frontrow.privacy.exportUserData(userId, {
format: 'json',
includeAnalytics: false
});
Localization Best Practices
Content Strategy
- Cultural Sensitivity: Adapt content to local cultural norms and preferences
- Local Relevance: Include region-specific examples and references
- Time Zones: Schedule content releases for optimal local times
- Seasonal Content: Align content with local holidays and seasons
Technical Implementation
// Detect user locale
const userLocale = await frontrow.localization.detectLocale({
ip: userIP,
acceptLanguage: request.headers['accept-language'],
userAgent: request.headers['user-agent']
});
// Load localized resources
const resources = await frontrow.localization.loadResources({
language: userLocale.language,
region: userLocale.region,
fallback: 'en-US'
});
// Format dates and numbers
const formattedDate = frontrow.localization.formatDate(date, userLocale);
const formattedPrice = frontrow.localization.formatCurrency(price, userLocale);
Performance Optimization
// Cache localized content
const cache = await frontrow.cache.get(`content:${contentId}:${language}`);
if (!cache) {
const localizedContent = await frontrow.content.getLocalized(contentId, language);
await frontrow.cache.set(`content:${contentId}:${language}`, localizedContent, 3600);
}
// Lazy load translations
const translations = await frontrow.translation.loadLazy({
namespace: 'ui',
language: userLanguage,
keys: ['navigation', 'buttons', 'forms']
});
Analytics and Insights
Regional Performance Metrics
// Get regional engagement metrics
const regionalMetrics = await frontrow.analytics.getRegionalEngagement({
timeframe: '30d',
metrics: ['views', 'engagement_rate', 'completion_rate'],
groupBy: ['country', 'language']
});
// Language preference analysis
const languageMetrics = await frontrow.analytics.getLanguagePreferences({
contentId: contentId,
includeTranslations: true
});
// Revenue by region
const revenueMetrics = await frontrow.analytics.getRegionalRevenue({
timeframe: '90d',
currency: 'USD',
groupBy: 'country'
});
Localization ROI
// Calculate localization ROI
const localizationROI = await frontrow.analytics.getLocalizationROI({
contentId: contentId,
languages: ['es', 'fr', 'de'],
timeframe: '180d'
});
// A/B test localized content
const abTest = await frontrow.experiments.create({
name: 'Spanish Localization Test',
variants: [
{ name: 'Original', language: 'en' },
{ name: 'Spanish', language: 'es' }
],
trafficSplit: 50,
metrics: ['engagement_rate', 'conversion_rate']
});
