Editing translated site text
You can edit the translated text that appears on your site, including on the booking engine element on your Book a Room page. Properly translated text improves the overall visitor experience. It also increases the likelihood of receiving more bookings from different markets.
Important:
When editing your translated text, make sure not to delete or edit any text used in the code, for example: {store_name} or %{count}. These codes draw information from your site so that the translated text appears in the right location on elements like your booking engine.
To edit the site text in a language:
- Go to Languages in your site's Hotels dashboard.
- Scroll down to the Translate your content section.
- Select the language in which you want to edit your site text from the drop-down on the right.
- Choose what text content you want to translate:
Room Types
Email Templates
Tax Categories
Extras
Property Settings - Policies
