Designing hospitality software for many languages and countries
Right-to-left text, currencies and tax rules are design questions, not translation tasks.
· Localisation · Architecture
Hotels operate across borders and guests come from everywhere. Software that serves them has to treat language, currency and tax as first-class parts of the design.
Language and direction
Translating labels is the easy part. A right-to-left language changes the layout of every screen and report, and the choice of language belongs to each user, not to the whole installation.
Currency
A hotel may price in one currency, take cash in another and report in a third. The system needs a currency master, rates, and a clear rule for which currency a figure is in.
Tax
Taxes differ by country and by revenue type. Keeping tax in masters, rather than in code, lets a property set up the rules that apply to it.
