Tourient supports translating your tours into multiple languages. The app's interface will translate into 64 languages. See which languages Tourient supports.

If you need to add more languages than you currently have enabled on your site, send us an email at support@tourient.app with your subdomain and a list of the languages you need to add, and we’ll get those added for you.

There are two ways to create tours in multiple languages. The method that is right for you depends on what your goal is.

  • If you want separate narratives for each language, where the tour is targeted to particular segments of your community, follow the steps in Method 1.

  • If you want direct word-to-word translations of tour text, in multiple languages, follow the steps in Method 2.

Method 1: Duplicate a Tour

In this method, we will duplicate a tour and its tour stops from one language site to another. Then, we'll replace its content in one language with content in another language. Let's say we have a tour in English, and we want to duplicate it for our Spanish site.

  1. In the left-hand sidebar, click on Tours.

  2. Click on the tour listing page for the tour you want to duplicate. On the right-hand side of the page, you'll see a Sites section.

  3. Click on Spanish in the sites listing and wait a few seconds for the page to duplicate itself in another language. Repeat for additional languages as needed. We've duplicated our tour listing page.

  4. Next, let's duplicate our tour stops. Return to Tours, and open each tour stop. Repeat step three by clicking on the language we want to duplicate this stop into in the Sites menu. Repeat for each tour stop.

  5. At the top-middle of the screen, you’ll see a dropdown menu that says English. Click that, then click the language in which you want to create a tour. In our example, we'll click on Spanish. We see the duplicated tour and tour stops.

  6. With our language switched to Spanish, we can now edit the content for the Spanish tour by replacing the English content with Spanish translations.

  7. Click Save & Publish to save the changes for each page, continuing until all tour stops have been translated. That's all there is to it!

Method 2: Create Separate Tours for Each Language

  1. In the left-hand sidebar, click on Tours.

  2. At the top-middle of the screen, you’ll see a dropdown menu that says English. Click that, then click the language in which you want to create a tour.

    1. Alternatively, click on the Site Switcher in the navigation bar at the top, choosing the language you want to create a tour in. Then, click on Tours in the left-hand sidebar.

  3. Click Create Entry at the top-right, then select Create a Tour in the dropdown menu.

  4. Edit the tour details per the instructions on this page, and save the tour.

  5. Return to the Tours listing, and click the three horizontal dots (…) to the right of the tour you just created. Click Add Child Entry to add a tour stop.

  6. Edit the tour stop details per the instructions on this page, and save the stop.

  7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for however many stops your tour requires.

Additional Settings
