The hard part is keeping languages aligned with the live scientific record.","2026-07-21","Eventumbot",[12,15,18,21],{"heading":13,"body":14},"Not everything belongs in every language","Abstract titles may stay in the language of the science. Practical pages — venue, visas, registration categories — often need the host language.

Rates, deadlines and session times change. If each language is a separate CMS tree, one of them will be wrong. A conference website that publishes from operational records can switch language without cloning the timetable.",{"heading":19,"body":20},"Language is not a theme colour","Switchers should name the language of the page you land on.
