If you have more than one active language translation in your Checkfront account, you can provide translations for your Booking Page by clicking the Translate button in the left sidebar.  

Clicking the Translate button opens a drop-down menu for any additional active languages in your account. You can select the one you wish to edit from the list. In this case, since we're in Canada, it's French.
