How to translate your welcome book

Do you rent out (or swap) your property, run a hotel, a guest house or a campsite, and sometimes welcome guests from abroad? This article is for you!

Overseas visitors, especially if they don't speak the local language, can quickly feel at a loss when there is a lack of information in their native language.

So it's important to give them, in their own language, the right information so they can fully enjoy their stay!

The simplest approach is to set up your whole welcome book first, in French. Once the set-up is complete, you'll need to switch to a Premium account to access the translation features.

On the “Your welcome books” page, click on the welcome book concerned to edit it.

On each text box, you can click on the “+” flag to add a translation language. In addition to French, 7 languages are available: English, German, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Russian.

You can then either write the translation yourself if you're comfortable in the language concerned, or click on “Generate an automatic translation” if you'd like us to take care of it for you!

The text boxes to be translated are therefore in:

, Welcome book info

, Wi-Fi module (if you use a Hotspot)

, Keypad code module

, Useful Numbers module

, Practical Info module

, Guest Book module

All the other items in the welcome book will be translated automatically.
