Learn to add, edit, and manage translations for multilingual messages in Triptease to reach guests in their language.

Updated over a week ago

TL;DR

  • Add translations to any message for multilingual guest targeting.

  • Each language variant can be edited directly in the builder.

  • Make sure to save before switching languages.


When to Use It

Use this feature when:

  • Your hotel website supports multiple languages

  • You want to show personalized messages to guests in their native language

  • You need to localize campaigns for specific markets


How It Works

You can add multiple translations to a single message. The platform:

  • Defaults to English

  • Lets you select additional languages from a built-in list

  • Creates language-specific versions you can edit and preview

Each translation is managed independently—you can:

  • Translate content manually

  • Edit the layout, text, and images

  • Preview each version in the builder


Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open the Message Editor

Enter the message from your campaign by clicking the pencil icon.


2. Click the Language Settings Cog

In the top right corner next to the language dropdown, click the gear icon.


3. Add a New Language

  • Click Add Language

  • Choose from the list (e.g., French, Spanish, German)

  • Click Save

Pro Tip: You can add multiple languages, but must translate each manually.


4. Edit Your Translation

Switch to your selected language from the dropdown and:

  • Translate the text content

  • Adjust layout if needed (text length may vary)

  • Save your changes

Important: Save each version before switching languages or navigating away.


Pro Tips

  • Use shorter phrases for better fit in compact designs

  • Avoid images with embedded text unless localized per language

  • Review translations for context and tone (especially for CTAs)

  • Translation preview only works on the Triptease demo site or enabled client websites


FAQs / Troubleshooting

Question: Can Triptease translate messages into any language?

Answer: No. Messages can only be translated into the languages shown in the supported language list. If your desired language isn’t in the list, it cannot be translated by Triptease—you’ll need to enter the translation manually.

Q: Can I change the layout for each language?

A: No. The translation functionality retains the current design and only adjusts the language.

Q: Do I need to retranslate mobile and desktop separately?

A: Yes, treat them as separate designs. Translate and adjust both views per language.
