I have a french and english version of my blog. I would like to create a french signup form. This way depending on which language the user has selected on the main site they will be directed to the correct signup form. The signup form will also subscribe them to the correct newsletter french or english.
How can I create a french signup form? Customize does not have enough flexibility for this.
I am using the Casper theme.
Ghost doesn’t have support for multiple languages baked in. You’re going to get transactional (sign-up) emails in whatever language the site it set to, and the small amount of newsletter boilerplate (“view in browser”, “unsubscribe”, etc) will also be in the site language. More details here: What would it take to make Ghost multilingual?
However, it’s possible to make a sign-up form in any language you like, and to have the sign-up form subscribe the user to one newsletter instead of another.
If you didn’t need to change the newsletter, you can customize the wording of the sign-up card: Signup cards , but I don’t think it allows you to specify the newsletter. (Although you could label your members instead and use that to decide what to send them.)
There’s a tutorial for a fully custom form here:
