Gothru Overlay Editor also features some parameters you can add to a virtual tour’s URL, to change the language and hide the overlay widgets. This means you can create a custom link of a virtual tour that determines how exactly the tour should start. The visitors will see and open the virtual tour differently when the tour embedded on your business page.

Imagine you want to show your store to a Russian customer and your original virtual tour begins in English. You don't have to go to the plugin settings to change the language. Instead, you can modify the tour’s URL to make it start in Russian. Just send them the new URL or embed that modified URL to your website and the tour be in Russian immediately.

Language Parameter

URL language parameters are a convenient and easy way to show your visitors with the appropriate language of your virtual tour.

How to change the language parameter?

1. Take the original URL of the tour

The following example is in English, the tour URL would look like:

https://tourmkr.com/G17e8qAg6W/7739673p,2763444m,339.48h,89.63t/lang:en
Tour in English

2. At the end of your URL, add the desired language code as a query string parameter: "lang:xx"

Replace "xx" with the 2-letter language code. For example the tour is displayed in Russian, so "lang:ru" added at the end of the URL.
