For an event with multiple languages, the Multilingual feature allows you to add a second or third language. These languages are added as additional translations to the main language of the event. For example while creating your event you choose the language 'English’'. This is the main language of your event. Then in the General Settings of the event you can choose to add an additional translation, for example Dutch.
At that moment the feature is activated for the following parts within aanmelder.nl: the registration form, the confirmation message, the change message, the deregister message and the survey. (NOTE: the translation must be added yourself, it will not be translated by aanmelder.nl).

Where do I find an overview of all translations?
In the Language Center you have an overview of all translations in the event. Here you can immediately see, if you have translated everything or if there are any translations missing. You can find the Language Center on the dashboard of your event.
