Also, when creating a new work or event, settings can be made from the popup that will be displayed.
1. Basic language
Please set the basic language when entering various information on the dashboard.
By entering various information in this language, it will be automatically translated into other languages.
2. Supported languages
Please select the language for which you want to enable multilingualization.
*Even if enabled, you can make the display private to users by changing the "Public Settings".
■How to use automatic translation
When multilingualization is enabled, input forms for each language will be displayed in the input fields for various information.
You can enter your own translated text, or you can click the "Batch Translation" button to have it automatically translated into the corresponding language.
Example) When Japanese is set as the basic language and English is set as the supported language
1. Enter text in the Japanese input form.
2. When you click the "Batch translation from Japanese" button, the results of automatic translation will be entered into the English input form.
*About the "Detailed translation settings" button
Please use this when you want to translate a specific input item from a language other than the basic language, or when you want to select the destination language individually.
* Automatic translation of proper nouns such as work names and artist names is possible, but there is a possibility that the translation will be unintended. Please check the translated content and edit it yourself if necessary.
* If there are any items left unfilled for the selected language, it will not be possible to publish. Please fill in all items.
