Translations and Languages Overview
As a travel and tourism operator, your business likely receives bookings from around the world. Therefore, it is important to offer your items/products and services in multiple languages.
At the same time, you need the default system language, Customer and Staff-facing, to be the primary language in which you do business.
Checkfront lets you do that through our default language setting, Translate Content, and Translate App (available on select plans) features.
