Set up different languages and translations for your guest facing booking engine.

Updated this week

Overview

Set up different languages for your booking engine, making your property more accessible and improving the guest experience.

Enable translations for your booking engine

If not already enabled, go to Front Desk > Setup > Language & Local Settings > Translations and click Enable translations. Select the languages you want to offer and click Save.

What language will guests see when they visit your booking engine?

Your booking engine will automatically detect a guest's browser language and display the site in that language by default. If the browser language hasn't been added and published in your translations settings, the booking engine will fall back to your property's default language.

Guests can also select their preferred language using the language switcher on your booking engine. They'll receive their booking confirmation email in the chosen language, so make sure translations are available.
