A bespoke Django dashboard application. It doesn't use the /admin page except for the superuser to add users and assign permissions.
Team members can add email templates in a base language and other team members can add translations.
It was written for a company that has:
- Many common emails that they send to customers.
- Team members that speak different languages.
Team members can be given different permission levels.
Team members can login and create email templates in a base language. Other team members can add a translation of the email into another language.
The end result is that the company has an accessible database of common emails that are translated into different languges
-
The app is pluggable -> everything is under one url. Visit '127.0.0.1:8000/emails/' instead of '127.0.0.1:8000' when you run the server.
-
This version was written for a company that has two main languages, hence the titles of the emails are both in English and Spanish. This can be adapted.
