Time and language settings
Time and Language settings help you customize how your reservation system looks and works for both you and your guests.
You can:
- Choose the language used in your Tablein system
- Set the main language for your booking widget and notifications
- Add extra languages guests can choose from when booking
- Select your time zone and preferred date format
We recommend using only a few languages - for example, your native language and English. Keeping fewer languages helps avoid confusion and makes managing translations easier.
Important: Some translations are still being updated. If you notice missing or incorrect translations in the booking widget, please contact us at support@tablein.com. We will update the translations as soon as possible.

Explanation of Settings
1. System Language
This is the main language used inside your Tablein account and system settings.
2. Primary Language for Widget & Notifications
Choose the main language for:

3. Available languages for guests

Only the selected languages will be available for:

⚠️ This setting is very important because your reservation availability is calculated based on the selected time zone.
