Creating Translations for VCP Events

Introduction

We can now offer events in multiple languages, giving the user a toggle to switch between available languages.

The system already has setting for Japanese, Korean and Italian set up. For additional languages you will need to contact the web team and request a new language.

For new languages you will need to provide the following common phrases:

  • The Conference starts in:
  • DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES, SECONDS
  • Agenda
  • Sponsors
  • Register
  • Register Form Labels (include all fields you will be using on your event)
  • Where would you like to go?
  • Terms and Conditions
  • Privacy Policy

Instructions

Translating an event

  1. To translate your conference, create the English version as normal. Once completed go to the content page (www.vcplive.com/admin/content). Using the dropdown options under “Operations” select “Translate”.
  2. You will then be shown the available languages you can translate into - if your language is new it will appear here once added by the web team.
  3. Click add next to the language you wish to use. This will load your reload VCP form and you can start to change the text in each element to your chosen language.
  4. To add additional languages repeat the above steps.

Editing translated events

  1. If you need to update or change any of your translated content you will see on the content page your event is listed more than once - the first being your English version, and one being the translated version created using the guide above.
  2. Click edit on your translated version and make the relevant changes.
  3. Click save and repeat the change for your other languages if required.

Note

Please note, when testing if you change your language the common phrases listed above will appear in the selected language for ALL EVENTS until you switch it back to English. You don’t need to panic that users are seeing this as they’re unlikely to have switched their language too.
