Overview

Reach a wider audience by offering your event website in multiple languages. By default, your website uses the language set in your Zoho account, known as the source language. Importing additional languages allows visitors to switch to their preferred language, enhancing their experience.

5. Click Export Language File. This will:
   • Add the selected language to the Other Language section.
   • Display the new language as an option in the website’s navigation menu.
   • Export a spreadsheet containing all the content from your website, including reference keys for each field.
6. Open the exported spreadsheet and enter the translated content in the third column.
   • Note: Fields left untranslated will remain in the source language when viewed in the new language.
