Customize phrases used in the website widget

You can customize phrases used in the Bitrix24 Website Widget.

Check if this option is available on your plan. You can find all the information about Bitrix24 plans on the pricing page.

Use JavaScript code to do that:

<script>
window.addEventListener('onBitrixLiveChat', function(event)
{
	var widget = event.detail.widget;

	widget.subscribe({
		type: BX.LiveChatWidget.SubscriptionType.configLoaded,
		callback: function() 
		{
			widget.addLocalize({VARIABLE: 'New Text'});				
		}
	});
	
});
</script>

For example, you can customize these variable phrases:

BX_LIVECHAT_LOADING – "Please wait"
BX_LIVECHAT_ERROR_TITLE – "Unfortunately we could not load live chat :("
BX_LIVECHAT_ERROR_DESC – "Please use some other communication tool or try again later."
BX_LIVECHAT_VOTE_BUTTON – "Rate our service"
BX_MESSENGER_TEXTAREA_PLACEHOLDER – "Enter message..."
The full list of variable phrases can be invoked by entering the following command to the browser's Developers Tools console:
console.table(BXLiveChat.__privateMethods__.localize);

You can add new phrases to the code as a string or as an array:

<script>
window.addEventListener('onBitrixLiveChat', function(event)
{
	var widget = event.detail.widget;

	widget.subscribe({type: BX.LiveChatWidget.SubscriptionType.configLoaded,
		callback: function(){widget.addLocalize({BX_LIVECHAT_LOADING: 'Wait, Live Chat is loading'});
			widget.addLocalize({BX_LIVECHAT_ERROR_TITLE: 'Oops, something went wrong'});				
			
			widget.addLocalize({BX_LIVECHAT_VOTE_BUTTON: 'Give us a score!',
				BX_LIVECHAT_OFFLINE: 'Sorry, our agents are sleeping',
				BX_LIVECHAT_ONLINE_LINE_1: 'Our team',
				BX_LIVECHAT_ONLINE_LINE_2: 'is ready to help you',					
				BX_LIVECHAT_ERROR_DESC: 'Chat is down for repairs',
				BX_MESSENGER_TEXTAREA_PLACEHOLDER: 'Type your question',
                    })
		}
	});
});
</script>
