Translations and Languages Overview

Back to top

As a travel and tourism operator, your business likely receives bookings from across the globe. 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 allows you to do just that through our default language setting, Translate Content, and Translate App (available on select plans) features.

System Language

Determines the default language for your account.

(Manage > Setup > Locale> Language settings)
Translate Content

Allows you to customize your default language or add additional languages.

For example, your default system language is English, but you want to offer your booking pages in English and French. 

We offer over 40 languages with locale variations available for each.

You can manage translations from Translate Content (Manage > Languages > Translate Content) or inline via select settings pages.

See which plans include this feature in the header of this article.
Translate App

 

Need to customize your default language? Translate App allows you to utilize shared translations or create and apply a private, custom translation.

Over 2500 text strings are available for translation in over 40 languages.
