How to change the floor plan language
You can change the language of your floor plan and the Reserve page. However, you can not change the language of the Dashboard or Exhibitor Portal — these are always in English.
Note that if the user's browser language differs, it will be selected automatically. This may be useful in bilingual countries such as Canada, where you may want to set the default language for the floor plan to be English, but if the visitor's language is French, the floor plan would be displayed in French.
How to select the floor plan view language
You can switch the language once you click the "hamburger" button next to the search field.
Buy and Reserve buttons
Available booths will display the Buy and Reserve buttons, as well as the booth information in the selected language.
How to change pages and terms language
Go to Settings - Language and select the one you want to use.
Buy and Reserve pages language
Buy and Reserve pages will be displayed in the selected language within the settings.
How to change terms
You can also change the terms used for the following: booth, exhibitor, sponsorship, Reserve button, sales tax (VAT), VAT number, credit card convenience fee and level.
How to add a company description in another language
Exhibitors can add multiple company descriptions in different languages. It can be done through their Exhibitor Portal. You can also do it by editing the company info. Go to Exhibitors - Exhibitors list click on the company, and then click Edit profile.
Note that the language of the company description will be selected according to the browser language of the user viewing the page.

If a language you need is missing, let us know. We will add it or provide you with a text file to translate.
How to hide booth prices/sizes on the floor plan
If you don't want your competitors to see your prices, or you want to be able to change prices at a later date, you can hide them on the plan.
Check the Hide booth prices checkbox in the Event settings - Floor Plan.
Follow a similar process to achieve the same outcome of hiding booth sizes or numbers for booths with exhibitors. Once you check the box and click "Save changes", these details will become invisible on the live plan while remaining visible in the Organizer’s Control Panel.
How to hide the booth level (for multilevel floor plans)
You can check the boxes in the "What to show on start" sections, including "Show level." This option will display the booth's respective level next to it, indicating its location within the venue.
How to hide exhibitors on the floor plan
You can hide the exhibitors' locations and details before the show starts. You can also hide some exhibitors on the floor plan. Go to Settings - Floor plan and scroll down to the “What companies to show” section.
Hide all companies
All exhibitors' profiles will be hidden on the floor plan. Reserved booths will be displayed as reserved without exhibitors' names on them. The organizer can still see the list of all the companies in the Exhibitors section.
Hide non-featured exhibitors in booths
You can choose to show only a featured exhibitor within the booth. It is especially useful when the booth is shared among many exhibitors. You can still see the others in the exhibitor list on the left if you click on the booth.
Hide companies that are “On Hold”
The companies with their booths "On Hold" will not be displayed in the exhibitor list on the left side of the front view until you approve their reservation.
Hide companies that have no booth except
This option might be useful for preserving company data but not showing it publicly. The exceptions can still be found in the exhibitor list on the left.
