==Changing texts for client side only==
If you need to adjust any texts on your booking page (for example change Employee to Therapist, Coach or Room), you can do it in <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Settings</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Custom wording & translations</span>.

<br><br>
There, you can also change the language of your booking page by clicking on the corresponding button on the right side and pressing <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Save custom translations.</span> If your language is not in the list you can translate the system yourself.

<br><br>
If you need to show the booking site in several languages you can use <span style="background-color:#cdeffc; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">[[Custom_Features#Google_Translate | Google Translate]]</span> custom feature.
<br><br>
==Changing language/wording for the whole system (without notifications templates)==
<span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Settings</span> -> <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">Custom wording & translations</span> also allows you to adjust the language of the whole system. Please select <span style="background-color:#d4f8e5; padding:5px; border-radius:5px;">All system translations</span> tab to change all system wording.<br>
'''Please note!''' It is not possible to have fully separate languages for admin and client sides as some of the texts are used for both sides. So you may have client side fully translated to one language and have admin side in a different one, but with some words form the client side language.

The system as well allows to download .po file, translate it with PoEditor software, upload the texts and apply to your system.

<br><br>
* Select the desired language from the drop-down menu.
* Confirm the selections (and whether you also need to change the language for the notifications templates)
'''Please note!''' If you have used custom translations/custom emails/sms templates texts, they will be permanently lost. You will need to add custom wording in Settings -> Custom translations after the new language has been applied.
