There are two organiser controls for language in HeySummit. Date, Time & Language sets the event's default language. Content Translations lets you replace individual customer-facing system phrases for the event.
Choose the event's default language
Go to Event Settings > General > Date, Time & Language.
Choose the Language you want HeySummit to use as the event default.
Select Save.
Customise individual phrases
Go to Event Settings > General > Content Translations.
Use Search translations or Filter records to find a phrase.
Enter your wording in the Translation field and choose Save beside that phrase.
Repeat for each phrase you want to override. The Update Language button opens the event language settings.
Edit or reuse wording in bulk
Use Export on Content Translations to download a CSV of your event wording. Edit the Translation column in a spreadsheet, then choose Import in the event you want to update. This also lets you reuse custom wording from another event. Follow the CSV export and import steps for column mapping and import results.
Keep translation keys and placeholders unchanged.
Blank translations are skipped. Existing custom wording stays unless you enable Replace existing custom wording?.
Imports update event-wide wording only. Page-specific wording and the event language setting stay unchanged.
What attendees can choose
After completing registration, signed-in attendees can choose a language from the Language control in the three-line event menu at the bottom of the page. The controls usually appear at the bottom-left; organisers can move them to the bottom-right or hide the menu or mobile controls. Event default returns them to the language chosen in Date, Time & Language. Their preference applies to standard interface text on public event pages. Event-specific wording overrides apply only when viewing the event's base language. For the steps and troubleshooting, see Let Attendees Choose Their Event Language.
What these settings do not translate
Changing the default language or a system phrase does not automatically rewrite organiser-authored content such as page text, talk titles or speaker biographies. Translate that content separately where needed. If a language or phrase you need is not available, choose Become a Community Translator on the Content Translations page or contact [email protected].
