Branding, languages and translations

Omnia is white-label. The organisation sets its identity; an edition can override selected values. Interface language, content language and a session’s presentation language are different settings.

The actual Omnia interface for branding, languages and translations. Fictional documentation edition; English interface.

Configure branding

Set the organisation’s name, colours and available font. Add edition overrides only where required. An empty edition setting can inherit the organisation value. After a logo upload, inspect both admin and the public page.

The interface derives readable interactive colours from the brand selection. Also assess long names, keyboard focus and mobile layout; an attractive desktop preview is not a complete accessibility check.

Who can change which setting?

The environment’s branding and active languages apply organisation-wide. Coordinate them with organisation administration. The active-language set is neither a personal preference nor a choice for just your edition.

An edition branding override needs a separate edition-scoped permission; speaker or programme management alone does not grant it. Your interface language does not automatically change descriptions or a session’s presentation language. See the roles matrix for these boundaries.

Activate languages

Activate the installation’s supported languages and select a default. Deactivating a language hides it in the interface without deleting its stored translations.

Check translation completeness before changing the default language. Required basic content must be complete. When content is missing, a screen can identify the fallback language; do not assume automatic translation.

Publish content

Complete edition descriptions, call descriptions and briefing text in the available language fields. Publication rules differ by content type: first edition publication requires descriptions in all active languages; a call requires its default-language description.

A session’s language classification describes what attendees hear during the presentation. It does not automatically change when the speaker switches the interface to English.
