Translations](https://help.inwink.com/languages#traductions) ### 1. Overall functioning of languages The inwink platform supports several languages: - For the **back-office**, French and English   - For the **website**, as much as necessary The **default language** is that of the user's **browser**. #### Back-office language To change the back-office language: - Click on the user icon ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-14-00-4460-AM.png?width=43&height=51&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-14-00-4460-AM.png) at the top right of the screen - Change the language by clicking on the **FR** or **EN** buttons ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-13-10-6900-AM.png?width=688&height=71&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-13-10-6900-AM.png) #### Website language If more than one language is provided for the website, as many language icons as there are configured languages will be offered to the user on the header menu, in order to allow them to change the default language set by their browser. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-19-29-5635-AM.png?width=2550&height=922&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-19-29-5635-AM.png) ### 2\. Setting up languages The **languages** used for an event or community **website** should be **included** in the audience. To choose **which languages to configure**, go to your audience, **Audience tab \> Configuration \> General information \> Languages : ** ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-21-50-3795-AM.png?width=2554&height=908&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-21-50-3795-AM.png) The list of headings shows all the languages that can be displayed on the website. Remember to click on *SAVE* in the top right-hand corner of the screen once you have made your settings: ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-22-11-1518-AM.png?width=911&height=803&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-22-11-1518-AM.png) Once you have entered the information in the audience, **go to the back-office** of your event or community to **add the predefined languages**. Here too, languages are available in the **My Event tab \> Configuration \> General Information \> in the "Languages" tab: ** ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-25-03-8125-AM.png?width=2549&height=1047&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-25-03-8125-AM.png) **⚠️Only the languages selected** here will appear on the website **Please note**: if several events and/or communities are present in an audience, languages should be added to each of them. ### 3. Default language The website is displayed in the **language of the user's browser**, **provided that it is configured** in the back office, otherwise it will be the **language** chosen to be **used by default**. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-26-09-9269-AM.png?width=423&height=263&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-26-09-9269-AM.png) Thus, in the case where **several languages** are present in the back-office, French, English and German for example, and the **default language is set to "French"**: - If the browser is in ***French***, the language displayed will be ***French*** - If the browser is in ***English***, the language displayed will be ***English *** - If the browser is in ***another language than the three provided***, Spanish for example, the default language will be ***French*** #### Choice of the default language for a participant: The default language of a participant is set at registration according to the language of their browser. ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-26-42-2247-AM.png?width=1278&height=244&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-26-42-2247-AM.png) The **email** communications will be sent in the **default language**, present on the **participant's form** ### 4. Application of languages On the **website**, the current language is applied to all **textual content** on the site. The **textual content** present on the blocks (Pre-title, title, description, action button), is enhanced with the current language (of the browser or chosen by the user) according to the fields entered in the block configuration: ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-35-24-2497-AM.png?width=1563&height=210&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-35-24-2497-AM.png) If the **content** of a **text field** is **empty** for one of the provided languages (DE here) and this is the language currently displayed on the site, then the content of the **default language** will be displayed (FR here) ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-37-16-2824-AM.png?width=1563&height=210&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-37-16-2824-AM.png) ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-36-13-0612-AM.png?width=304&height=100&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-36-13-0612-AM.png) ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-37-03-8224-AM.png?width=2554&height=948&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-37-03-8224-AM.png) ⚠️ It is possible to **condition the display of a block** according to the default language of a user, as **indicated in his or her participant record**, by using lower case language codes (e.g. fr, en, de, etc.), and by filtering the block with these: ![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-27-2024-08-33-03-5373-AM.png?width=1075&height=507&name=image-png-May-27-2024-08-33-03-5373-AM.png) **❗❗❗ This practice is not recommended, as the block may not be displayed:** \- if the participant's default language is not set \- if the user is not logged in Moreover, the textual fields of the block (Pre-title, title, description), will no longer be displayed according to the language of the browser (or chosen by the user in the banner). The use of **images containing text** is therefore also **not recommended** (to avoid having to package a block according to language) ### 5\. Translations The website is developed for display in French and English. Once you have chosen the **other languages** to be used, you must **add their translations**.
