Configuring Language Codes

Language codes help you to identify the native language spoken by guests and used in contacts. The language value selected in profiles can be sent to integrated systems such as in-room video and voice mail systems.

When the Multi-language OPERA Control is active the language value selected in profiles is also used to define the template and translation of values fetched when generating stationery.

• You can set up translation for code descriptions, per language, using the Manage Translations link throughout Administration.

• The language code in a guest or contact profile determines the stationery template and translation output when generating confirmations, registration cards, receipts and folios. For company and agents, the language code determines the template and translation used for generating folios, statements, reminder letters, contracts, quotes, and banquet event orders. For more information, see About Stationery Editor .

A Report Date Language field defines the date format to be used when generating stationery in the selected language.
