# Multilingual ticket sales — every visitor in their own language — MijnEvent Multilingual # Your visitor buys their ticket in their own language Someone from Cologne opens your event page and sees German. Not just the buttons and the confirmation e-mail, but also the description you wrote in Dutch. You switch on the languages your visitors speak; the rest follows by itself. [How it works](#how-title) [About accessibility](https://mijnevent.app/en/accessibility) - 1Tick the languages In Settings → Languages. One tick per language, and your primary language stays the one you write in. - 2Your texts follow Event name, description, ticket types and your own e-mail texts move to the other languages automatically. - 3The visitor picks They get their browser language by default and can switch with one click on a flag. How it works ## From a single tick to a fully translated sales side You do not have to translate anything or keep anything in sync. You only say which languages your visitors speak. 1 ### You decide which languages you offer In Settings → Languages you tick who you want to serve. Everything that comes from the platform itself — buttons, forms, e-mails, error messages, the order confirmation — is already fully available in that language. Nothing is invented on the fly: a language can only be switched on once it is completely translated, and a test enforces that. 2 ### The visitor gets their own language Whoever arrives gets their browser language — provided you offer it. Click a flag and that choice wins, and we remember it; when they are logged in, their preference travels to their next device. Offer just one language and nobody sees a language switcher at all. 3 ### Your own texts come along too This is the part most platforms leave to you. Change an event description, a ticket type, a menu or the text of your confirmation e-mail, and a translation pass automatically runs for the languages you offer. Whatever you refine yourself wins for good. The languages ## Eleven languages, all of them complete Not a row of flags hiding half-finished translations. Every language below is fully populated before it can be switched on — including the error messages in the middle of checkout. - Nederlands - English - Deutsch - Français - Polski - Українська - Español - Frysk - Italiano - 简体中文 - Vlaams The dashboard and the admin panel stay Dutch and English. This is about what your visitor sees. Frisian ## Why Frisian is on the list Frisian is the second official language of the Netherlands — not a dialect, but a language with its own law and its own spelling. More than half a million people speak it. For a brass band in Drachten, a village fair in Wommels or a handball match in Franeker, Dutch is not automatically the language of the crowd. Commercially, Frisian is not a smart choice: it will never bring the visitor numbers to carry a business case. We did it anyway, for the same reason we started in Drenthe — a region deserves to be addressed in its own language, even a small one. The set is as complete as the German one: every visitor text, every e-mail, every error message. Frisian deliberately follows Dutch date and price formatting, because that is what a Frisian reader expects.

These do. ### The event just across the border Around Enschede, Venlo or Terneuzen a good share of your audience comes from Germany or Belgium. A Dutch-only event page is not a detail then but a reason to drop out — or to e-mail you asking whether that ticket went through. ### The international conference Your programme is English, your speakers are English, your delegates come from ten countries. Switch on English and German and you do not have to write your programme texts twice. ### The festival that sells across the border You advertise abroad on purpose. Every language you switch on gets its own web address with hreflang, so Google treats the German version of your event page as a genuinely German page. ### The club with its own regional language A village festival, a brass band, a local match. Your audience lives around the corner and speaks Frisian — then that is the language you invite them in, not the Dutch of a ticketing platform from the big city. An example ## One event, four languages, no extra work A village festival near the German border switching on Dutch, German, English and Frisian. You write in Dutch You switch on Deutsch · English · Frysk Translated automatically name, description, location, ticket types Refined by hand stays put What your visitor sees their own language What it costs extra € 0.00 Good to know ## What we say up front Better clear now than after you have switched. ## Your own texts are machine-translated The platform texts are written by hand; your own texts are done by a translation engine. That is why every non-Dutch page and e-mail carries a short note saying the text was translated automatically and that the Dutch version prevails in case of differences. You can refine any translation yourself; empty a field and the engine picks it up again. ## The dashboard stays Dutch and English The screen where you build your events and review your orders exists in Dutch and English. The eleven languages are about the side your visitor sees — that is where the difference counts, and it spares you a dashboard that feels half translated. ## We deliberately do not translate terms Rental and membership terms stay in the source language. What a visitor ticks has to be exactly the text recorded as accepted; a translation alongside it would mean they read something other than what ends up in the records. We are not taking that risk. Frequently asked questions ## Frequently asked questions ## Which languages can I switch on? Dutch, Flemish, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese and Frisian. Eleven in total, and all eleven are complete — a language only becomes available once every visitor-facing text is in it, including the error messages during checkout. ## Do I now have to enter my event texts in every language? No. You write in your own language and the platform handles the rest: event name, description, location, ticket types, your menu, your courses, your confirmation e-mail texts. Want a sentence phrased differently? Edit that translation — and your version stays, even if you change the source text later. ## How does MijnEvent decide which language a visitor sees? First an explicit language in the link, then the language the visitor picked via the flags, then the stored preference of a logged-in visitor, then their browser language — always limited to the languages you offer. If none of that yields anything, your primary language applies. ## What do my Dutch visitors notice? Nothing, unless you switch on more languages. Offer only Dutch and there is no language switcher and not a letter changes. Add German and Dutch visitors simply see Dutch while German-speaking visitors automatically see German. ## Do I get to know which languages my visitors speak? Yes. Under Settings → Languages you see, per language, how many visitors have it as their browser language over the past three months, aggregated and without personal data. If a language you have not switched on shows up, you get one concrete tip with a button to enable it right away. ## Does being multilingual cost extra? No. There is no language surcharge, no price per translated field and no pricier plan wrapped around it. It is included in every pricing model, Pay as you go too. ## Will the translated pages be found by Google? Yes. Every language you switch on gets its own web address, and those addresses point to each other with hreflang. The bare link remains the address that determines the visitor's language itself. That way a search engine knows which version to show a German searcher. # Selling across the border too? Sign up, tick the languages your audience speaks and your sales side is there. It costs nothing extra — it is included in every pricing model. [Start free](https://mijnevent.app/registreer) [All features](https://mijnevent.app/en/features)
