  • 1.  Country dropdown labeling for Taiwan

    Posted 04-06-2026 14:33
    I had a question regarding the country dropdown used for event registrations. Currently, Taiwan appears as "Taiwan (Province of China)", and I wanted to understand whether this labeling is fixed by the platform or if it can be adjusted.
    Our client has raised a concern that this wording could create issues for some attendees with their government, so we want to ensure the registration experience does not inadvertently cause problems for participants. 
    I am fairly new the Cvent if it can be adjusted, can someone provide instructions on how that can be done?

    Hello Brandi,

    You can't edit it yourself. The label is system-defined, but Support can change it to "Taiwan" for your account or specific events. You can call the team at 866.318.4357 and press the IVR 1-1-1-1. The team can raise a request to get it changed.

    How it works
    Cvent uses ISO country names, so it shows "Taiwan (Province of China)" by default, and planners can't rename it directly.

    Workaround: You can also create a custom contact field with your own list of countries. Note: This won't link properly to standard reporting, so it's only temporary.

    Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

    Regards,

    Does this solution cover the payment portion of registration or only the personal information section? We are also looking for a way to change certain country labels but need it changed on both the personal information and payment sections of registration.

    Hi Isaiah,

    Yes, when Cvent Support updates the label, it would also be updated on the Payment widget. One thing to note is that the override is for attendee-facing labels only, it may not change the label on planner-side records.
