Wix Events: Translating Your Event

Showcase your events to international guests by offering them in multiple languages. Once you have finished creating your event in your main language, use Wix Multilingual to translate it into more languages.

Before you begin:

• Add Wix Events to your site and set it up (e.g. add events, create tickets, customize your registration form, etc.).

• Add and set up Wix Multilingual. You can add Wix Multilingual from your editor, your site's dashboard, or from the Wix App Market.

Step 1 | Translate your Events page

Begin by translating your events pages from the multilingual dashboard.

To translate your Events page:

1. Go to Translation Manager in your site's dashboard.

2. Click Events on the left.

3. Choose the relevant option:If you auto-translated your site: Review the automated translations and edit if necessary.
   If you didn't use auto-translation: Translate the custom fields and policies manually.
   

4. Click Save and Publish.

Step 2 | Translate your event's text elements in your editor

After translating your events via the multilingual dashboard (see step 1 above), you still have additional elements which need to be translated in your editor. By choosing which events you want to display on your site (between multiple events or a single event), you can edit the text fields displayed on your event list.

Some text may already be translated automatically. You can review it and make changes if needed.
