Add translations for booking engine content.

When you apply new languages to your booking engine you need to ensure that you manually add translations to anywhere applicable:

Core elements of the SHR booking engine framework are automatically translated when a new language is enabled. You will be required to translate all your own content such as room and rate information, T&Cs, dynamic packaging items etc. into any additional languages required.

Content that needs to be translated in the booking engine:

  • Rate Title

  • Rate Description

  • Rate Terms and Conditions

  • Room Title

  • Room Description

  • General Hotel Terms and Conditions

  • Dynamic Packaging / Upsell Text & Descriptions

Any content that isn't translated will pull from the default language, usually English.

Look out for the flag symbols within each category to denote where you need to add translations.
