Translation Configuration

Because OPERA is used worldwide, a multi-language capability allows resources to be displayed in your choice of languages. Translation features are available from various System Configuration edit screens to make it easy to enter translated resource information.

A Translation screen is available from several points in OPERA Sales & Catering as described in this topic. For each Field Name, the Hotel Language entry is shown. Select the Translated Into language from the pick box, then supply the Translated Language entry corresponding to the Field Name.

Codes that appear throughout Sales & Catering, for instance, the codes that describe servings or containers, are translated once using the Translation Codes screen. You will be instructed which Code Type to select. Then choose the appropriate Language from the Language LOV, and supply the corresponding Description for each listed code.
