How to: Changing the guest facing text / language of the app

Want to use Booth.Events in a different language? Or tailor the wording your guests see to match your brand’s voice? Whether you're setting the iPad to German or want to say "Snap Your Selfie!" instead of "Take Photo", this guide walks you through both options:

changing the app language and customizing the guest-facing text.

Part 1: Changing the App Language

By default, the Booth.Events app will use the language of your iPad or iPhone.

To change the device language:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPad or iPhone.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap Language & Region.
4. Tap “Add Language” if your desired language isn’t listed.
5. Once added, drag the language you want to use to the top of the list.
6. Your device will restart or refresh the interface in the selected language.

Example: If you want the app to show text in German, make sure "Deutsch" is set as the top language.

The Booth.Events app will now display text in that language automatically — no additional app settings required!

Part 2: Customizing Any Text Guests See in the App (iPad Only)

Starting with version 1.4.0 of the Booth.Events iOS app, you can edit or replace nearly any piece of text your guests see during their photo booth session. This is perfect for branding or localization.

Note: This feature is only available on iPad, not iPhone.

To customize text:

1. Open the Booth.Events iPad app.

   On the start screen, tap the Language button (you’ll see it on the home screen).

   

   A customization screen will open showing:

   • 

2. Tap and edit to enter your preferred text.

✅ You can include:

• Custom branding phrases
• Emojis 🎉
• Any language or keyboard character available on iOS

Important Notes:

• Always Preview your event after making changes to ensure the new text looks correct.
• If your custom text is too long, it may be cut off on screen — which can confuse guests. Adjust as needed.
• Placeholders like %@ or %d must remain in your edits when present. These are used to insert numbers or other values dynamically.

What are placeholders?

• %@ might become a phone number like 485-123-4567
• %d is used for numbers like 3

For example, this is not correct:

✅ This is valid:

“Sending your photo to %@ now!”

❌ This is not valid:

“Sending your photo now!” (because the %@ is missing)

If you forget to include the required placeholders, the app won’t save or use your custom version of the text.

Final Tips:

• Changes happen immediately in the app once saved.
• This is a great way to localize the app for events in different countries, or customize the tone to match your brand personality (fun, formal, etc.).
