# Multi-lingual Tournament and Event Descriptions

# Expand your audience reach.

Adding different languages in a Tournament or Event Description helps tournament organizers enhance or modify the experience of their participants. This feature can be used to personalize a message or provide specific instructions for participants residing in different countries. Take advantage of this opportunity and reach out to a larger audience by providing multiple language options.

|| This feature is currently only available for [Premier](https://challonge.com/pricing) users.

## Tournament Description

The first step is to [create a tournament](https://challonge.com/tournaments/new), fill in the necessary information and save. Once you're done with the basics, click the Settings tab  > Basic Info > Description.

In this section, come up with an initial content that will be read by your audience when visiting your bracket. This is where you can provide any information about the competition like official rules, registration mechanics, and even images representing your organization. Feel free to add links and direct anyone to your social media pages or website.

Next, click **Add Description Languages +** then **Add a Language +**.

If you wish to discard any language, just click the **Remove** button.

|| The description's content won't translate to the site language that you chose. It would just show up in the description you added under that language.
