Hi Phil,

The system chooses the "best" language records when displaying event
template data. If your program language is English, it will attempt to
display the English records. But if there is a event type, subtype, or role
that only exists in another language, then it will display that record
instead.

I think in your case that you are missing the English role record for "Best
Man".

Best regards,

-- Bill
