Language settings: Offer the booking process in multiple languages
With edoobox, you can make your booking process available in several languages. This allows your participants to switch independently between the activated languages A during the booking process. Ideal for international target groups.

Checklist for activating a new language in edoobox
To ensure that nothing is overlooked when activating languages, we have created a checklist for you. This will guide you step by step through all the actions required to activate the languages.
Activate the desired language(s) in the global settings
Temporarily hide language selection in the booking process (optional)
To prevent bookers from switching to the new language during the translation process, you can temporarily hide the language selection in the page header in the Design Manager.
Add translations
As a rule of thumb, wherever you have inserted texts in edoobox, a translation is also necessary. The checklist serves as support and it may be that you do not use certain texts and therefore no translations are necessary.
Categories: Translate the category name and, if necessary, the category description.
Offers: Translate offer names, offer descriptions, additional texts and price categories.
Design Manager: Translate all participant data fields, buttons, text blocks and "Personal messages" into widgets (e.g. Thank you for your booking). Check and translate widgets with filter options (e.g. with tags) and voucher sales.
Settings:
Email templates: Translate all relevant email templates.
Legal texts: Insert translations for all relevant legal texts (e.g. general terms and conditions).
Other settings: If used, translate additional questions, additional services and request list names.
Show language selection in the Design Manager again (optional)
If the language selection was hidden in step 2, show it again in the Design Manager.
Carry out a test booking:
Carry out a test booking in the new language to ensure that all translations have been added appropriately and that the booking process also meets your requirements in the new language.
Please note: Visibility in the offer tree
If the category names or offer names are not translated into the language in which the edoobox account is displayed to the admins, the categories and offers will not appear in the offer tree.
