Event websites can be created in multiple different language versions. This article describes, how multilingual event websites are created and what should be taken into account when creating different language versions. Event websites are not connected to registration page languages so languages on the registration page and event websites are separate.

This article contains the following sections:

• Create different language versions for event websites
• Event website default language
• Publishing different language versions
• Copy event website with multiple language versions
• Delete language versions

Create different language versions for event websites

When creating a new event website, choose which language the event website will be. You can choose from multiple languages listed in this article. After the event website has been created edit the content and the sections to your preference.

If you wish to add another additional language, you can add it on top of the editor page.

1. Open the language menu
2. Select "add language"
   
3. Select which language you want to add and write the name of the event with the language you selected > confirm.

The system automatically creates a language specific url link. Read more about links here.

If you want to add language specific registration links to each event website version copy the language specific links from the events section and paste them to the correct event website language versions. Check this article to know where the links can be found on the registration side of Lyyti.

Top tip! Finish the first language version first and only then create the other versions. This way all the sections are copied according to the first version and only thing left to do is to translate the texts. 

Event website default language and links

A multilingual event website always has a default language. The default language is used if the person opening the link is using a language on their browser that doesn't match any created language versions. Multilingual event websites have a general link or language specific links. The language specific links automatically open the chosen language. The general link opens the language version that is most suitable for the user according to their browser settings. If no language is suitable the default language will be used.

The language specific link can be edited in the settings:

edit the correct language version > open settings > edit.

1. Event website settings show what language version is currently being edited and if it's the default language
2. The general link to the event website that opens language versions automatically according to the browser language settings
3. The language specific link

Remember that the event website needs to be public in order for the links to work.

The default language is automatically the language the event website was first created with. However it is possible to change the default language afterwards if needed.

Change the default language by following these steps:

1. Open the main view with all of your event websites
2. Click on the three dots on top of the event website and select Default language
3. Change the default language version and confirm

Publishing different language versions

When the event website is ready, and you want to publish it, go to the settings sections and edit the draft/published setting. You can select which language versions you prefer to publish. This way it is still possible to continue working with other versions even though other versions are already public.

If you are publishing some of the language versions afterwards, go first to the correct language version in the editor and then publish.

Copy event website with multiple language versions

If you have multiple similar events and you prefer creating a new event website by copying an old one, you can choose which language versions are copied. Go to the event website main page and click on the three dots and select copy. If you want to copy all language versions, give each language version a new name and url link and click on continue.

Delete language versions

Language versions can be deleted in the event website main view.

1. Open event websites from the top navigation bar
2. Click on the three dots
   
3. Select delete
4. Choose which versions are deleted and click on delete
