How to Use the Translation Module in Exhibitor Zone 2

Within Exhibitor Zone 2, you may notice default system text that prompts users to take specific actions. These prompts appear across the platform and include things like button labels, form actions, and instructional messages.

Examples include:

• Submit and Finish

• Click here to reset your password

• Save and continue

These default prompts can be customised to better suit your tone of voice or translated into another language using the Translation Module.
