Set up translations

Multiple languages are supported in Maxxton to present your content effectively. These languages can be utilised for translations, which enables you to display descriptions on your website in a unified language. This improves the booking experience for your customers and ensures that accurate information is conveyed regarding the accommodations, add-ons, and amenities. Additionally, translations can be used to display content for users based on the language they have selected in their profile.

Enable internationalisation

1. Navigate to Content Manager and expand the Configuration menu item, and select Internationalisation.
2. The Languages card appears, showing the languages set up for translations.
3. Click the Link language in the bottom-right corner of the panel to add more languages.
4. From the dropdown menu in the Link languages pop-up, select the language you would like to set up. Specify whether this is the default language.
5. Click the Link language. The selected language is added to the overview panel. The default language will be used whenever no input is provided for other configured languages. If you want to change the default language after configuration, contact Maxxton.

To enhance clarity, the default language is now clearly labelled as 'Default' in the language selection dropdowns throughout the system, including in template build mode, previews, and history views.

Set up translations

Resources that support translations include (but are not limited to) accommodations, housekeeping tasks, and reservation categories.

1. Navigate to the resource for which you want to set up translations and open its details page.
2. At the top of the page, you will see language labels for the languages you have set up in the configuration.
3. If translations are available, the label displays a counter-tag indicating how many fields are translated out of the total. This enables you to verify whether all fields have been translated.
4. Click on the label for the language you want to set up.
   When setting up a new language, most fields will be blank for your translations. Some fields, such as the email subject and sender, may show default content based on the default language, while others might contain values defined by the system. Enter your translations in the detail fields. 

   Note:

   All mandatory fields for the default language must be populated before you can switch to another language or save changes.

    
5. Save or reset your changes using the pop-up indicating unsaved changes at the bottom-right of the page.
6. Save the changes.
