What is the Vamoos Multilingual feature?


  • With Vamoos Multilingual, you can provide your property information in your client's native language


  • You add your translations in any language in the Operator Portal and Vamoos will then do the rest. It will show the correct language versions of all your shared content and menu & labels to provide your clients with a seamless single-language experience from start to finish


  • What's more, you can add your content in any language of your choice and if you are using one of the 9 languages we support, you will also see the login screen, fixed menus and messages throughout the app be translated


  • Currently, these are English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian, but we are adding new languages all the time, send us an email to request one



How to change your default language 


  • Log in to the Vamoos Operator Portal and go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > LANGUAGE SETTINGS


  • Here, press the pencil icon to search for your default language and press SAVE




How to set up additional languages


  • Log in to the Vamoos Operator Portal and go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > LANGUAGE SETTINGS. Here, press the ADD button and search for any additional languages you would like to provide your trips in and press SAVE




  • Go to VAMOOS LIST > VAMOOS STAYS and open your property to edit it
  • You will now see the language options that you activated at the top of the edit screen


  • Select the language that you would like to start translating.


  • A blank, parallel version of your Vamoos Stay will appear, and you can work your way through the left-side menus and write your translated content in your new language version


  • Remember to re-upload any images or links you have


 



TOP TIP: Try opening up your original language version in one tab, and the language you are translating to in aohter tab.  Now you can easily copy the content across and fill out your translations in your new langage version of the app.


  • If you do not enter any content into a section, the default language version will be shown.  So for your gallery, there is no need to re-upload images, leave this blank and the images will be pulled through from the original Vamoos Stay


  • Now you can go to the Shared section in the black bar at the top and provide translations for your Notifications, POIs, Inspirations and Menu & Labels


  • For these sections, you can press the pencil icon to edit the existing entry and select your language of choice and write in your translations



PLEASE NOTE: for Inspirations, you need to click 'Create Inspiration' and build a new Inspiration in your alternative language, you can then oprn up your property and ;ink the new inspiration version to this trip in the Inspirations section on the left-hand side menu 






How to activate Multilingual


  • Once you are ready to launch your guest app in your additional language you need to activate it!


  • To do this go to your Vamoos List > Vamoos Stays and open up your property profile


  • Then, click the pencil icon next to the language options at the top




  • Here you can use the switches next to each language and turn them on to activate them 




  • You can also change your default language version here and select which language version of the app you'd like to be the primary and default version shown to guests


  • This will be the language that is shown if you don't have any additional languages activated, and if your guests device's aren't in any of these languages


  • Vamoos will also auto-translate the login screen and any fixed messages or menus throughout the app if your clients' device is set to French, Spanish, German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish or Finnish
