Event Manager supports multiple languages, and the way to translate it is technically the same as you would use to translate seating charts you show to your ticket buyers.

This means you can use the language parameter to set the overall language, and the messages parameter to override individual lines of text.

Setting the Overall Language

Event Manager has built-in support for English (en), Spanish (es), Portuguese (pt), German (de) and Dutch (nl).

To render a floor plan in your language, simply pass in a “language” config parameter, like so:

new seatsio.EventManager({
    ...,    
    "language": "es"
}).render();

Built-in texts

Built-in texts are texts that Seats provides out of the box. For example texts like the ones in the tooltips that get shown when an administrator or box office manager hovers over a seat or a section.

These are the built-in texts that are available within Event Manager, with their translation in English:

Translating dynamic labels and texts

Besides the built-in texts, other texts can be translated as well:

static text you add on your floor plan while you're designing it
category labels
...

To translate these dynamic, you need to pass in a messages config variable, like so:

new seatsio.EventManager({
    ...,
    "messages": {
        "STAGE": "Podium",
        "ORGAN": "Orgue"
    }
}).render();

Please note: the keys in the messages object are cAsE sEnSiTivE!

Recap

set the language config param to translate built-in texts.
use a messages array to translate your own labels and texts.
