You can set in which languages your email is going to appear for the guests who do not have any language information entered during the excel import.
Example: If you choose that your email "will appear in English followed by French": Your email will appear first in English (including the banner), followed by French and on both versions a link to redirect the guest on the event’s website in the selected language.
When you select a guest to send him an email, the platform will let you know if is has a selected language or not as follow:
Note: Once the form has been validated by the guest in a specific language, he/she will be recognized as a speaker of that language and will receive all the emails in that particular language.
Example: If your attendee validates their form in English, they will receive their confirmation email in English only.
b) You know your guests’ language
The first step is to import this data during the initial import via the Language column in your Excel document.
The values to be imported must include the languages’ ISO codes:
Example: French: fr ; German: de ; English: en ; Spanish: es
For security reasons, it is best to display the Language column in your back office - to ensure that these have been well imported.

Once your languages have been set up, it is essential to carry out a series of tests to ensure that your event is correctly set up in all languages.
Here is the procedure to follow:
1/ Create as many guests as you have different languages (with the name of the language as a first name, for example).
2/ Send yourself the invitation email.
2 scenarios:
- You don’t know the language of your guest: check that you receive the email in the chosen languages, and click on the link of the language of your guest.
- You know your guest language and you have imported it into the database: check that you are receiving the email in the right language.
3/ Test the website in all the languages: check that the content is correctly entered and is the same in all the languages.
4/ Test the registration form in all the languages: check that all the questions and the associated answers are well translated. Also check that the content is correctly entered and is the same in all languages.
5/ Test the good reception of the confirmation emails: it must be in the same language in which the registration form has been validated. Check that the content of the email is well translated.
If you use the email templates that include a resume of the registration, it is essential to ensure that all the answers are translated into the right language.
