Overview
Back to topOperating in the travel and tourism industry, chances are your business receives bookings from all across the globe. It is important, then, 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 in the primary language that you do business.
Checkfront allows you to do just that through a combination of features including our default Language setting, Checkfront Translations, and Customer Languages (available on select plans).
