# Legacy seminar notification multi-language content

This notification system is now a legacy feature. Please see [Using centralised notifications](/totara-20/docs/using-centralised-notifications) for details on using the modern notification system. You can also view our [Transitioning to new seminar notifications](/totara-20/docs/transitioning-to-new-seminar-notifications) guidance. 

As with other HTML content, you can include multi-language content in [legacy seminar notifications](/totara-20/docs/setting-up-seminar-notifications) using span tags. For example, you could include French content using this format:

```markup
<span class="multilang" lang="fr">French paragraph</span>
```

For simple content you can easily include each different language in the appropriate span tags, for example:

```markup
<span class="multilang" lang="en">English paragraph 1</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="fr">French paragraph 1</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="nl">Dutch paragraph 1</span>
```

However, for more complex content comprising multiple paragraphs, bullet-point lists, or other formatting, the language tags will need to be contained within the structure tags (e.g. <p> </p> tags for paragraphs).

Here is an example of how to format a complex seminar notification in multiple languages:

```markup
// Paragraph 1
<p>
<span class="multilang" lang="en">English paragraph 1</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="fr">French paragraph 1</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="nl">Dutch paragraph 1</span>
</p>
 
// Unordered list with 3 list items
<ul>
<li>
<span class="multilang" lang="en">English list item 1</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="fr">French list item 1</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="nl">Dutch list item 1</span>
</li>
<li>
<span class="multilang" lang="en">English list item 2</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="fr">French list item 2</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="nl">Dutch list item 2</span>
</li>
</ul>
 
// Paragraph 2
<p>
<span class="multilang" lang="en">English paragraph 2</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="fr">French paragraph 2</span>
<span class="multilang" lang="nl">Dutch paragraph 2</span>
</p>
```
