Changing the display language on your Pigeonhole

Organisers can configure the languages available for their Pigeonhole. Only the languages selected by the organiser will appear as options for participants on the Audience Web App.

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. 

How to select the display language(s) for your Event Pigeonhole 

In your Pigeonhole dashboard, go to More Settings > Appearance > Language settings.

Event language

The event language is the language that the event will be displayed in. The language selected here will be the default language for the panel interfaces; Admin panel, Moderator panel, Projector panel, and Kiosk. This includes all the instructions and guiding texts. It is in English by default, but the organiser can select any available languages. For example, if a user wanted to navigate the Projector Panel using a Spanish interface, then they should select Spanish in the Event Language drop-down menu.

AI Translation

If AI Translation is enabled, then the Event Language would be the default language used on the Panels. For example, if the Event Language is English while an attendee submits a question that is in Spanish, then the question will be translated to English and displayed on the Projector Panel, Admin Panel etc. in English.
