Translation subscription
Automatic translation in the catalog is powered by the DeepL service. Using it requires a subscription enabled by the platform administrator.
Get a subscription
The translation subscription is managed at the platform level. As a property owner, you cannot enable it yourself.
To request activation:
- Contact your platform administrator
- State that you want to use automatic translation in the catalog
- The administrator enables your subscription
Once enabled, the Translate button in the catalog unlocks automatically, with no further action on your part.
How the subscription works
Monthly quota
Your subscription may include a monthly limit on the number of characters translated. Each translation consumes a number of characters calculated as follows:
Characters consumed = number of characters in the source text x number of target languages
For example, translating “Deluxe Room” (11 characters) into 3 languages consumes 33 characters.
The quota resets automatically each month on the subscription anniversary date. If no limit is configured, usage is unlimited.
Subscription states
| State | Effect in the catalog |
|---|---|
| Active | Translate button available |
| Disabled | Translate button locked, “Subscription disabled” message |
| None | Translate button locked, “Contact your administrator” message |
| Quota exceeded | Translate available but fails with an explanatory message |
What happens when the quota is exceeded?
The translation is refused and an orange banner appears: “Monthly translation quota exceeded”.
Your options:
- Wait for the quota to reset next month
- Ask your administrator to raise the monthly limit
Translations already done are not affected. Only new translations are blocked.
