Languages

This option lists all available guest languages. It is currently not possible to add or change other guest languages. A language must be specified in the contact details of each guest and can be used to print (confirmation) letters and folio's in the guest's language. To use different guest languages, you must also translate the description of each configurable item, such as room types, room numbers, products, etc. in the set-up.
