Hello again Alexander,

I'm afraid that we didn't quite get what you want to achieve exactly? Can you explain to us in a little more detail, and send us a couple of screenshots?

Amelia doesn't have any language settings, and it inherits its language from WordPress. We have a Dutch translation. You need to set the language in WordPress for your site to be in Dutch and Amelia will be translated automatically.

After you change the language of your WordPress site, Amelia will be translated also. 

Approximately 80%-85% of the plugin is translated into the languages stated above, but you can always translate it using Poedit or Loco Translate. 

Translating all strings in the plugin is very easy since there is a file with all strings ready for translation. We usually advise using Loco Translate or POEDIT, and here are the steps that you need to take to translate the plugin. This is an example for the French language:

1. Download and install POEDIT.
2. After that, open the program and open the file from your website located in ..wp-content/plugins/ameliabooking/languages/fr_FR/wpamelia-fr_FR.po.
3. Translate all the strings that are not translated
4. Save the translation.
5. If you’re using some other PO editor, other than POEDIT you may need to compile the .mo file also. POEDIT does this automatically, but we cannot guarantee that for other editors.
6. Go to ameliabooking/languages/fr_FR/ folder and copy these two files called wpamelia-fr_FR.po and wpamelia-fr_FR.mo back to your website in the location ../wp-content/plugins/ameliabooking/languages/fr_FR/.

During the translation of all these strings, you will notice that this file doesn’t have the names of your categories, services, custom fields, descriptions, and notification templates since all these need to be translated directly in the plugin. 

We wish you all the best. 

Hello again Alexander,

Yes, Amelia is multilingual and it can be shown in different languages.

At the moment we have Spanish, German, Dutch, Russian, Romanian, French, Finnish, Italian, Swedish, Brazilian Portuguese, Portuguese, Greek, Arabic, Slovak, Hungarian, Danish, Belgian, Japanese, Polish, Hebrew, and Chinese translation. Approximately 90-95% of the plugin is translated into the languages stated above, but you can always translate it using Poedit or Loco Translate.

You need to create your site to be multilingual and when the customer selects the language on that page, Amelia will be automatically translated into that language.

Amelia works by following locale on pages, but you have to set it up.

So, Amelia inherits the language from WordPress and if you set to Dutch that will be the main language. 

If you have added the Dutch language in Amelia and notifications please remove it since in that case Amelia will be considered as a second language. You just add other languages in Amelia and Amelia notifications.  

Then you need to delete the English notifications template and write them in dutch and then those will be sent by default. And then you can change the other languages and write those templates but if an employee forgets to change it then they will be sent in Dutch by default.

If you have any more questions please open another ticket and we will gladly help you there.

We wish you all the best. 

Hello again Alexander,

Let us tr from a beginning

1. Set WordPress to Dutch

2. If you added Dutch as a language in Amelia settings and notifications remove it

3. Delete the default notifications that are on English and write them down in Dutch

4. Then they will be the default one

5. Then you can add new languages in Amelia and Amelia notifications

6. If you add the new languages you need to choose that language in the notifications and write down the notifications in that language  

7. Amelia follows page locale. So if a customer books on English page he will get the notifications in English once you sent them

8. And if a customer books on Dutch page he will get the notifications in Dutch once you sent them

Hope this explains it.

If you have any more questions please open a new separate ticket for each question and we will gladly help you there.

We wish you all the best.

Have a nice day.
