Translated content

[Robert_Drygas]

Hello,

How can I add custom content (like description, history etc) and menu items in different languages? I found nothing about this in the user guide, and I’d like to set up a conference in two (maybe more) languages.

There isn’t a per language title, description, form, etc… You can have the two languages on the same text field, but that’s not convenient for small fields like title. And it will be confusing in registration forms.
I am using ojs for our scientific journal, and it has the option to allow more than one local. In every page, you will have a new tab for the corresponding language. So the frontend will have the correct language depending on the user’s choice (and even a different logo, footer, etc…).

If you fluent in html and can modify the global templates, check

Indico multilingual

I found a lightweight approach for at least partial multi-language displays: customize vars_user to conditionally hide /show some content: custom/templates/core/assets/vars_user.js Indico.User = {{ user_vars | tojson }}; $(document).ready(function () { $('.lang').hide(); {% if user_vars["language"] in ['de_DE', 'en_GB'] %} $('.lang.{{ user_vars["language"] }}').show(); {% else %} $('.lang.en_GB').show(); {% endif %} }) and adding the div tags via source mode in the editor.

for a bit hacky approach.
