Onboarding: Multi Language Support + Conditional Questions + Lower Setup Requirements
Hi, I'm loving the new onboarding feature. I was already using some sort of primitive onboarding myself, using custom channels for assigning roles. My biggest goal was to provide a bilingual server from the get go, meaning the newly joined user first chooses their preferred language(s) and further roles become available step by step accordingly. This way people were spared from unnecessary cluttering of channels.
When I learned that Discord had this onboarding feature built in I was so excited to implement it, but unfortunately it is impossible in my situation to properly setup, since the process assumes the server is single language only.
For example in my original setup, first a channel called "ENGLISH / TÜRKÇE" is visible people can multiselect roles in this channel and if they choose only certain language, further categories unlock according to their language. So if the user is only Turkish speaking, "#KONULAR" unlocks instead of "#SUBJECTS" and they can read and choose the topics they're interested in their language... and so on...
I can not set it this way with the built in onboarding... I have to assume the new user either speaks English OR Turkish and write my questions for that language which unfortunately disregards the other tongue.
Since we can assign roles with questions, perhaps there could be optional (for admin) but perquisite (for users) questions depending on the roles gained from the previous question...
That way I can begin with learning their language and asking the further questions in their proper language...
This whole thing wouldn't be an issue for me if there wasn't a requirement of 7 in total channels for @everyone to set up the onboarding. That way I could just leave the onboard questions in language and once they chose they would be able to see and choose their topics accordingly.
I don't understand why the requirement number is so high for newly arrived users... We do give them enough variety of topics and channels once they choose their preferences anyway... but as I stated above, since I cannot set up conditional questions depending on the users language, I am locked up from guiding users to choose their roles and unlocking further channels and I can't even finish the Onboarding setup anyways...
I hope I was clear about describing my problem and I hope Discord considers "retouching" the onboarding setup so people (servers) like me can utilize this wonderful feature. Thank you for reading.
Best Regards
