Hi Jitka,
1) There are a few key differences to keep in mind when setting up a multi-language event in Flex. These updates were made in response to customer feedback collected from Classic multi-language users:
- While Classic required a separate website version to be maintained for each language, Flex allows all languages to be managed on a single website and simply replaces the text depending on the visitor's assigned language.
- Classic did not allow new languages to be enabled once an event has been launched while Flex allows you to enable additional languages at any time.
- Classic did not allow custom website text (added directly to page) to be translated via export/import, but Flex allows you to handle all translations via export/import, including text widget text. A notable exception to this is that handling custom formatting within a text widget translation must be done in the language management grid.
- To answer your question about invitation lists, when sending an email with a data tag link such as the {(E-RSVP YES)} data tag, the recipient will automatically be sent to the website version that corresponds to the language of their invitation list.
2) Allowing visibility for text widgets and allowing text widgets as sub-questions are both in our future plans. Our development team is still in the process of estimating the required effort for these enhancements so we don't have a timeline to share today, but we will be adding these to the
Flex Feature Page in the future so it can be tracked.
- The current limit is 30 registration paths per Flex event, but we plan to increase this in the future.
3) When assigning registration types via
custom logic, you can create up to 100 conditions, with up to 5 criteria within each condition.

Subject: Ask the Expert event with Product Managers – Flex Event Registration
Hello,
We are preparing to transition from classic to flex. We are now working on re-creating our classic event templates in Flex and I have few questions I would like to ask:
1) Flex registration with multiple languages -
- Can you explain in what ways is setting up multi - language registration in flex different from Classic?
- We have invitation lists in different languages. We want to make sure, that when we send invitation email from say German invitation list, clicking "Yes" will send the invitee to German version of the registration pages. Do we need to change the {[E-RSVP YES LINK]} data tag in some way to do that?
2) Visibility logic in registration pages for Text widget - in Classic registration it is possible to use visibility logic on text (html presentation in classic) and also to use text as a subquestion. This is not possible in Flex at the moment - are you planning to change this? If so, do you have a timeline for it?
We have a number of disclaimers that we need to display to specific registration types only. And because we have a large number of registration types associated to one registration path we would like to avoid setting up separate registration path for each registration type just to limit the disclaimer visibility.
(But just in case I would also like to ask if there is a limit on number of registratin paths that we can have in flex event.)
3) Registration path settings - using custom logic to assign registration types - is there a limit on number of Conditions we can create to assign the reg. types?
Thanks a lot

Hello, Cvent Community! Erik Shea here, Senior Product Manager at Cvent, bringing you our new standard event registration, Flex! My colleagues and I will be here in the Open Forum on Thursday, February 11, from 11 am – 12 pm ET to answer all your Flex and product migration questions through this Ask the Expert session.
To best prepare for this session, I encourage everyone to register for the upcoming Customer Success Groups showcasing product solution evolution on Flex, New Reports, and Access Portals. We will prioritize questions in the Ask the Expert that we do not already address in these sessions.
As a refresher, Flex was created to be your responsive, intuitive, and *flexible* event registration. Not only does it offer an enhanced experience overall, but it is also crucial to utilize many of our product solutions, such as the new Virtual Attendee Hub.
Reminders from our Community Team on how the Ask the Expert session will work:
Add your questions on Flex below any time before or during the Ask the Expert session. Be sure to take a look at other Community user's questions and click Recommend to those that you would also like to learn more about.
If you are curious about a feature being released, please check out the Flex Feature List here. If you do not see the feature listed, or it is available but doesn't accommodate your use case, please share your feedback through the Ideas page here in the Community.
You can expect to see answers from my team and I starting at 11 am ET on Thursday. Follow the thread by clicking the blue star and be ready to add follow-up questions and discuss further with other users. We'll wrap up the event at 12 pm ET, so be sure to join us then.
As an extra tip, download the calendar attachment on this post to be reminded on your personal calendar.
We look forward to reading your questions!
