Languages in the Website Builder
You can set up languages for your website so that your guests can view your website with their preferred language.
The website builder's default language is English and supports the following language translations:
Catalan
Chinese(Simplified)
Chinese(Traditional)
Danish
Dutch
Finnish
French
German
Greek
Icelandic
Indonesian(Bahasa)
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Norwegian
Portuguese
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
Thai
The website builder detects the browser language settings of the website visitor and loads the respective language (provided that the language is supported).
Please note: The website builder only translates the basic parts of the website, like buttons, dates and default pages. Translations for all custom text need to be entered manually. We suggest that you enter and complete the translations for all custom text first (i.e. Name, Policies, text in custom pages, etc.) before you activate a language to be displayed on your website.
Translate your website content
As the website builder can only translate the basic sections of a website, you must enter the translations of your hotel-specific information manually.
Content is translatable when you see a Language drop-down at the top of the page in the website builder.
To enter translations:
Go to a content you wish to translate (e.g. Dashboard >> Property)
Select the language you want to add translations in from the drop-down menu
Enter the translations in the applicable fields (e.g. Name, Address)
Click Save
Repeat the above steps for every content you wish to translate
Click Preview Site to view the changes you have made to the website
If your website is already published, click Publish Changes to push the updates to your live website
Content that is not translated will appear in English, leading to mixed translations. Ensure that you add and complete translations as much as possible.
Once you have completed adding translations for your content, you can then set up languages in the website builder.
Set up website languages
Once set up on your website builder, your guests can now choose to view your website in a translated language through the language switcher on the website.The language switcher will have the languages you have set up available.
You can also decide where to display the language switcher on your website, in the header, the footer or both.
To set up a website language:
Click Manage Themes
Click Languages in the menu on the left
Under Language Switcher Placement , select where you want to display the language switcher on your website
Click Add language
Select the language you wish to add from the dropdown menu
Click Save
