In webinars and field events, the date and time values in merge tags of emails and calendar blocks are shown in the event’s default language.

This update improves multilingual email communication by translating readable date values based on the event’s default language.


What’s supported

Date- and time-related merge tags in emails and calendar blocks now translate the following values:

  1. Month and short month

  2. Day and short day

  3. AM / PM values wherever needed

Supported merge tags and examples of translated values

The table below shows how supported merge tags translate date or time values based on the event’s primary language.

Note: Only readable date components are translated. The date structure or order remains unchanged.

For example, if the event’s default language is French, then December 9, 2025 is shown as Décembre 9, 2025


What’s not supported

  1. Date order and formatting remain unchanged

  2. Landing page merge tags are not included

  3. Time zones and numeric values are not translated


Limitations and known behaviours

  1. This is a value-level translation, not a full locale transformation.

  2. Date order, punctuation, and spacing remain unchanged.

  3. Time zones such as IST, PST, or Asia/Kolkata are not translated.

  4. Numeric values such as dates and years are not translated.

  5. Other merge tags like {{eventDescription}} are shown in primary language by default.

    1. So, it’s recommended to add those in the default language.
