How to change the display language on your Pigeonhole? 

On your Pigeonhole:

Go to More Settings> Appearance.

Scroll to the bottom of the page, to the section Language Settings. Click on the Audience Web App default language drop-down menu and select your preferred language, click Save. 

The default setting for the display language is “Auto-detect based on device". Under this setting, the display language for Pigeonhole Live will be set as the language that the attendee has set on their device.

Event Language 

The Event Language determines the user interface language of the Pigeonhole Live Panels. This includes all the instructions and guiding texts on the Pigeonhole Live Panels.  It is in English by default but the user can select any of the available languages. For example, if a user wanted to present questions on the Projector Panel using a Spanish interface to his audience, then then he should select Spanish in the Event Language drop-down menu.

To select the Event Language, click on the Event Language drop-down menu. Choose your preferred language and click Save.

Note: If AI Translation has been enabled, then the Event Language also determines the target language of translation on the Panels. For example, if the Event Language is English while an attendee submits a question that is in Spanish, then that question will be translated to English and displayed on the Projector Panel, Admin Panel etc. in English. 

Can attendees change the display language on the Audience Web App for their own devices? 

Attendees can override the display language that you have set by changing it on their respective devices. They can do so by clicking the language at the bottom right of the Audience Web App and selecting their preferred language.  

We are working to support more display languages on Pigeonhole Live. In the meantime, you will still be able to run events in your local language as we support text inputs in all languages on our platform. 

Note: Languages in Beta are being improved with more use and feedback from our users. If you have feedback on some of the translated texts, please reach out to us at productteam@pigeonlab.com.
