You write everything in English. The translation happens in the background when you publish, so there is nothing to switch on.
What guests get
- A language selector sits at the top right of the guidebook, showing English, Español, Français and Deutsch. It only appears once there is more than one language to choose from.
- Choosing one reloads the guidebook in that language and keeps them on the screen they were on.
- Section titles, item titles and item text are translated, along with the guidebook's own name.
- The app's own labels — Check-in, Door code, Parking, the weather screen, the guest note form — are already written in all four languages.
- Dates and the forecast render in that language's format.
- The AI concierge replies in the language the guest is reading in.
What is not translated
- Anything you have marked as not visible to guests. Internal notes are never sent to the translator.
- Event names in What's On, and anything that comes from an outside source, stay as they were published.
- Photos, codes, numbers and proper names are kept as written.
Keeping it current
The translation runs each time you publish. If you edit a section and do not publish, guests reading in another language still see the last published wording. There is a limit of 5 translation runs per account per day, so publishing repeatedly in one sitting can leave the newest edit untranslated until the next day.
If a translation looks wrong
Edit the English wording and publish again — the whole guidebook is retranslated. If something still reads badly, reply to any email from QuietStay with the property and the section.
