Localization Overview

Eventfinity's localization feature allows you to add and display your event's content in multiple languages, to accommodate a global audience. Translated content must be acquired and loaded into Eventfinity.

To turn on localization, go to Event Info. Toggle on localization, found on one of the right side panels. Here, you can then select what languages you'd like to make your event portal available in. We currently support 25 languages. If your event requires a language that is not available here, please contact the Eventfinity team for an enterprise solution.  

Once you've saved, you'll now have a new side nav item in your event - Event Settings > Localization. 

For instructions on inputting localized content, see the localized content management article. 

Setting Attendee's Language

By default, there is an attendee field for Language. This shows up in the attendee profile pages as well, and by default is always set to English. As an admin user, you can pre-set an attendees language from Dashboard, either by manually updating the field on their profile page, batch updating multiple attendees at once, or via an import, the same way you would edit any attendee field.
The field in Dashboard allows you to select any available language, not just ones you've added as options. If you set it to a language that doesn't have content, the event portal content will default to English.

To allow attendees to edit their own attendee field, go to Content > Homescreen Builder > Navigation. Underneath the + Add Section button on this page, there is a dropdown for adding optional system items to settings. Select "Set Language" from this dropdown and click the + button to the right of the dropdown field to add the item to your navigation. It will be added to the Settings section. On the front end, attendees will be able to edit their language setting. They will only be able to choose languages that have been added to this event from Event Info.
