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
- Navigate to Content Manager and expand the Configuration menu item, and select Internationalisation.
- The Languages card appears, showing the languages set up for translations.
- Click the Link language in the bottom-right corner of the panel to add more languages.
- 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.
- 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.
Set up translations
Resources that support translations include (but are not limited to) accommodations, housekeeping tasks, and reservation categories.
- Navigate to the resource for which you want to set up translations and open its details page.
- At the top of the page, you will see language labels for the languages you have set up in the configuration.
- 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.
- Click on the label for the language you want to set up. The first time you do this, all fields will be blank. Enter your translations in the detail fields.
- Save or reset your changes using the pop-up indicating unsaved changes at the bottom-right of the page.

Tips
- Translations per resource can be included in Batch Updates and Import files.
- Ensure translations are correct; flawed translations may impact the guest experience.
