Languages in the Website Builder

You can set up languages for your website so that your guests can view your website with their preferred language.

The website builder's default language is English and supports the following language translations:

  • Catalan

  • Chinese(Simplified)

  • Chinese(Traditional)

  • Danish

  • Dutch

  • Finnish

  • French

  • German

  • Greek

  • Icelandic

  • Indonesian(Bahasa)

  • Italian

  • Japanese

  • Korean

  • Norwegian

  • Portuguese

  • Russian

  • Spanish

  • Swedish

  • Thai

The website builder detects the browser language settings of the website visitor and loads the respective language (provided that the language is supported).

Please note: The website builder only translates the basic parts of the website, like buttons, dates and default pages. Translations for all custom text need to be entered manually. We suggest that you enter and complete the translations for all custom text first (i.e. Name, Policies, text in custom pages, etc.) before you activate a language to be displayed on your website.


Translate your website content

As the website builder can only translate the basic sections of a website, you must enter the translations of your hotel-specific information manually.
Content is translatable when you see a Language drop-down at the top of the page in the website builder.

To enter translations:

  1. Go to a content you wish to translate (e.g. Dashboard >> Property)

  2. Select the language you want to add translations in from the drop-down menu

  3. Enter the translations in the applicable fields (e.g. Name, Address)

  4. Click Save

  5. Repeat the above steps for every content you wish to translate

  6. Click Preview Site to view the changes you have made to the website

  7. If your website is already published, click Publish Changes to push the updates to your live website

Content that is not translated will appear in English, leading to mixed translations. Ensure that you add and complete translations as much as possible.
Once you have completed adding translations for your content, you can then set up languages in the website builder.
