Translating Event and Registration Options

You can localize and translate event and registration options into English (U.S., British, and Canadian), French (Canadian), and Spanish (U.S.) using Multiple Language Tabs. The differences between U.S, British, and Canadian English are mostly to enable such things as correct address formats and currency options, such as £ or $. Most of the Event Management Center user interface is already translated, but you can translate your own custom content as well. The translation languages that are available vary depending on how the site is configured.

Note: Upsells cannot be translated and localized.

The language that displays to constituents is set according to the site default locale, or the constituent’s preferred locale. Constituent’s can select a preferred locale when they register, a system administrator can set their preferred locale in Constituent360, or they may click a link that allows them to change the language display (if your site has one).

To translate event and registration options:

1. On the Event Center page, select:
   • Edit Event Options - To translate the Event Name and Description
   • Configure Personal Gift Achievement Badge - To translate the Badge Name and the Badge Description.
   The options that can be translated display the Multiple Language Tabs along the top of the text field. The default language tab is highlighted first.
2. Enter the text that corresponds to the Multiple Language Tab that is selected. For example, if the English tab is selected, enter the English translation, if the French tab is selected, enter the French translation, and so on.
3. Click the next language tab and enter the translated text for that language.
4. Continue to enter translated text for all the language tabs and click Next when you are done.
