TheBooking seamlessly integrates with WPML String Translation, which is included in the WPML Multilingual CMS Package. This allows you to easily translate various strings stored in the database, such as service names, email content, custom form labels, and more.

With WPML String Translation, you can ensure that all the textual elements related to TheBooking plugin are accurately translated, providing a multilingual experience for your users. This includes not only the visible frontend elements but also the dynamic content, ensuring that your booking system is fully localized and tailored to your target audience in different languages.

Please note that certain custom form fields may have multiple strings to translate. For example, a radio group field will have a string for the label and one string for each selectable option. Ensure that you translate all the necessary strings associated with each custom form field.

Translating Email Content​

To translate the email content, including the subject and body, follow these steps:

  1. Locate the Translations link above the email body section.

Please note that only the email notifications sent to the customer, such as confirmation, cancellation, and reminder messages, are translatable. The system stores the language selected by the customer, which can be seen in the reservation details. If necessary, you can change the language for a specific reservation.
