How to translate your website content into another language

Activate a new language, then translate Website, Menu, Extras and SEO in Settings → Translations. Emails translate in Settings → Emails. Amenitiz also offers a paid translation service.

Overview

This article explains how to translate the content of your website, booking engine and menus into another language.

You have two options:

  • Let Amenitiz handle it — we can translate your entire website for you at €70 per language (excluding taxes). Just get in touch with your Account Manager or contact our support team.

  • Do it yourself following the steps below.


Before you start

  • You need the Can edit the website permission to manage languages and translations.

  • Always activate a language before translating into it — translations entered before activation aren't saved.

  • Translations in the Translations section save automatically as you type. There's no Save button.

  • If an element isn't translated, it appears blank in that language — Amenitiz falls back to the default text in your primary language.


Step-by-step instructions

1. Activate the language

  1. In the admin sidebar, go to SettingsLanguages.

  2. Click the three dots next to the language you want to activate and select Add a language.

  3. Make sure the language is active — you'll see a green toggle when it's live.

⚠️ Warning

If you try translating your content before activating the language, your translations won't be saved. Always activate first.

2. Translate website and booking engine content

  1. In the admin sidebar, click Settings, then Translations in the submenu.

  2. At the top of the screen, use the language dropdown to pick the language you want to translate.

  3. Choose a section to work in:

    • Website — page content

    • Menu — navigation menus

    • Extras — extras and add-ons

    • And more.

  4. The selected section refreshes in the target language. All title and text fields are editable — type your translations directly into them. Everything saves automatically.

3. Translate individual pieces of content

When you're adding a new room description, a new extra, or updating your homepage, you can translate that specific piece right where you create it:

  1. Look for the small flag icons next to text fields when editing rooms, extras, or any multilingual section.

  2. Click a flag to open the translation field for that specific language.

Quick way to update one item without going through the main Translations section.

4. Translate automated emails

Emails are different — you can't translate automated emails from the Translations section.

  1. Go to SettingsEmails.

  2. Open each email and click the language tabs to add a translation for each one.

This makes sure guests receive booking confirmations, check-out messages and other communications in their preferred language.

5. Translate SEO and page titles

Your visibility on search engines depends on translated SEO content. To update it per language:

  1. In the sidebar, go to WebsiteSEO.

  2. Click the flag of the language you want to work on.

  3. Edit the SEO tab. You can update:

    • The page title (what appears in Google)

    • The meta description (the short summary under your link in search results)

FAQs

I added a translation but don't see a Save button — is it lost?

No — the Translations section saves automatically as you type. There's no Save button on purpose. Refresh the page if you want to confirm your changes stuck.


A field is blank in the translated language — what happens on the live site?

Amenitiz falls back to the default text — usually whatever you have in your primary language. To replace it, fill the field for that language in the Translations section or via the flag icon next to the field.


Can I translate automated emails from the Translations section?

No. Email translations live in SettingsEmails. Open each email and switch between the language tabs to translate it.


I'm activating a language for the first time — what should I translate first?

Hit the highest-impact surfaces first: Website page content, Menu navigation, your room descriptions, your SEO titles + meta descriptions, and your automated Emails. After that, work through Extras and any custom blocks.
