If you wish to customize default text on your website or the wording of a button, you can do so by using Custom translations in your advanced website settings.
To customize default texts, follow these steps:
- Go to your left-hand menu and select Website builder.
- Open the Settings tab.
- Go to Advanced.
- Select Custom translations.
- Search for the text or button you would like to change. You can search in any of your website's languages. If nothing matches, click Clear search and try another word.
- Click the pencil icon next to the text. A drawer opens with one field per website language, and Lodgify's default text shown under each one.
- Change the text in the languages you need, and click Save all languages.
- Click Publish website so your changes become visible to your guests.
To see every text you have changed, use the Edited only filter. Each text carries an Edited tag naming the language you changed.
To undo a change, open the text and click Reset to default under the language you want to restore.
💡 Notes:
- Each language keeps its own text. If your website runs in three languages, change all three in the drawer before you publish.
- Custom translations change Lodgify's built-in labels, such as buttons, field names, and amenities. Your own page content is edited in the Pages tab.
- Custom translations are not visible in your backend, only on your website.
- Check-in and check-out times cannot be changed with custom translations. They always appear in the 12-hour format (AM/PM), in every website language.
🔎 Example: You can use custom translations to add a new amenity by changing the translation of an existing one you are not using into the amenity you want to add.
