The primary color is used for things like the header and footer.
The primary contrast color is used for things like text that will appear on top of the primary color. It should therefore contrast well with the primary color.
The secondary color is used for things like menus and other places that need a heavy color to contrast with the primary color.
The secondary contrast color is used for things like text that will appear on top of the secondary color.
The highlight color is used all over the user interface to help highlight elements. It should be bright and contrast well with white.
The error color is used to call out errors. It should not look like any other color in the color palette. In Western cultures, this color is typically a shade of red.
This may seem like a dumb question, but we want to know how you define white in your color palette. Pure white (rgb(255,255,255)) is generally not a good white.
This may seem like a dumb question, but we want to know how you define black in your color palette. Pure black (rgb(0,0,0)) is generally not a good black.
The goal here is to pick a version white that is warmer than your standard white. Ideally, it should have enough off a contrast with your standard white to be noticeable.
Your gray should be a dark enough shade of gray that it will appear on your white and light background colors.
The color of divider lines. It should contrast well with everything else, but not be gaudy.
The color of overlay backgrounds. Use the transparency slider for this. The primary use of this is the transparency for the header navigation.
The color of shadowed elements. In general you won't change this one. Still, it should have some level of transparency to it.

Select one language as the site's "primary language" and any number of other languages as "supported languages".

In practice, there's not much difference between the primary language and supported languages except the system will default to the primary language when the context is unclear or global. We always add English into the mix for support purposes. If you would like us to support a language not listed here, we can add support for a fee. The process involves us building an initial machine language translation of the site and then sending that data to a translator (and thus the fee).

PICK ONLY THE BARE MINIMUM OF LANGUAGES NEEDED FOR YOUR AUDIENCE. We do machine translation of all user-generated content and selecting too many languages can create confusion for some audiences. Once you make changes, it may take a few hours for the new languages to show up on the site.
The primary language used by the site for default presentation of content when the context is unclear or shared.
Supported Languages A list of languages other than the primary language you wish to support on your site. Include only languages core to your viewer base.

Dictionaries

The text that appears on this web site and in the various portals is stored in dictionaries with translations for all supported languages. Select a dictionary below to customize the text creators, judges, and the public see on your site. You may manually provide your own translations or let the cloud take a first pass at performing translations.

NOTE: The full list of dictionaries on the left do not appear in production. Only the subset of dictionaries relevant to site customization are shown. Editing dictionaries in this development environment impacts all customers for this platform and become active for all customers on their next dictionary cache rebuild.

The "creators" dictionary contains the text for the Creator Portal.

settings:HTML_Dictionary_Judging_Desc

The "public" dictionary contains the text for the pubic site.

The "email" dictionary contains the text for the emails that we send.

To replace text in our interface with terminology specific to your site or to substitute your own translations, search for the word you want to replace to find any matches in the dictionary. You may then select the word or phrase you want to change and manage the text and its translations.

Email Settings

<p>The email settings define where emails sent by the SparqStream platform originate. After you change the email sender, you will receive an email from <b>Amazon Web Services</b> asking you to confirm the email.</p><p>IMPORTANT: ALL EMAILS YOU SEND WILL FAIL SILENTLY UNTIL YOU CONFIRM YOUR EMAIL!</p>
