How to translate the texts in Booking Engine for foreign guests

To display the Booking Engine on your website in different languages, add the translations of the texts in your TravelLine account. To do this, go to the “Hotel management” > “International settings”.

These translations will be displayed in the Booking Engine if users select a foreign language.

If a user selects a foreign language but there are translations missing, the Booking Engine displays them in the default language, for example, English. If you only have translations for one foreign language, for example, Chinese, no matter what language users choose, they will see the texts in Chinese only.

To add a translation to another language, take the following steps:

1. Go to the “Hotel management” > “International settings”.

2. Click on the three lines button above the tabs, to select the language for translations. By default, the language selected is English.

3. Open the tabs marked with orange dots. They contain the texts to be translated.

Inside each of the tabs, the fields that were translated are highlighted in green, while the fields that are yet to be translated are highlighted in orange.

If a field was translated but is still highlighted in orange, this means that the translation was done automatically and not yet approved. Such texts are not displayed in Booking Engine until you approve them.

To only see the fields that were not translated, tick the “Show untranslated texts only” box.

4. If you are looking for a specific text, you a search bar to find it.

5. To enter a translation, click on the field. To save the translation, click on the tick button.

6. Another way is to use automatic translations. To use it, click on a field and on the “Translate” button, and an online translator will do the job for you. To save the translations, click on the tick button.

If the translation is saved, the field will turn green.

The translations will make it easy for foreigners to book. If your default language is different than English, make at least an English translation if foreigners often stay at your property.
