# FAQ {#faq}

## Translations {#translations}

If you translate an event into a new language, events2 will not create day records for this language. That's because
you may have changed the `event_type` of an event. In that case events2 can not associate a day record of
default language to day records of the translated record. As a solution we have disabled the translation feature
for day table completely.

This approach has one disadvantage:

You currently can't search for translated events in frontend search.

## Where are the day records build? {#where-are-the-day-records-build}

We build the day records while saving an event record in backend. Further we re-build them while executing
the scheduler task `Re-Create day records` and while executing the command `events2:rebuild`.

## Can I export events? {#can-i-export-events}

No. Currently you have to create your own export mechanism. But as we have implemented such a solution already for one
of our customers you can ask us at: [projects@jweiland.net](mailto:projects@jweiland.net)

## Can I import events? {#can-i-import-events}

Yes. But currently only XML files are allowed. Please add Scheduler Task `Import events` and set a filepath
to import. Examples of XML files are available at [https://github.com/jweiland-net/events2/tree/main/Tests/Functional/Fixtures/XmlImport](https://github.com/jweiland-net/events2/tree/main/Tests/Functional/Fixtures/XmlImport).

We will validate the imported file against configuration in `EXT:events2/Resources/Public/XmlImportValidator.xsd`.

All errors will be logged in a `Messages.txt` in same directory of imported XML file.

## Namespace change of search plugin {#namespace-change-of-search-plugin}

In Extbase a link will be created by its Plugin Namespace like *tx_events2_calendar* or *tx_events2_list*. As we have
designed plugin `Search form` as its own Plugin it will only react and build links based on plugin
namespace `tx_events2_searchform`. But this is a problem. To build correct links within the search results plugin
which should be compatible with our events2 list Plugin we have to change its plugin namespace to `tx_events2_list`.

That's why we set the plugin namespace of search results plugin back to namespace of events2 list plugin:

```typoscript
plugin.tx_events2_searchresults.view.pluginNamespace = tx_events2_list
```

We prefer to not change that value.

## File Uploads {#file-uploads}

The images of the event form of the Management plugin are uploaded with
the file upload handling of Extbase. If you need the image rights from
the uploader, install EXT:checkfaluploads and add the rights checkbox to
your template override, see [Image rights with checkfaluploads](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/jweiland/events2:management-checkfaluploads@11.1).
