Explain when the booking provider is available in another language

The practice translates its service pages but the external booking destination uses a different language. Visitors discover the change after committing to the online route.

What to change

State the verified language available at the next step and provide the practice's actual alternative for assistance. Keep the explanation beside the booking invitation.

A worked example

Illustrative example

A translated service page explains that the linked booking provider currently uses English and offers reception contact to discuss arrangements. It does not imply that the practice's translation extends into the provider's screens.

How to check the result

A reader knows what language to expect before leaving the practice website.

A mistake to avoid

Do not claim a complete translated booking journey after reviewing only the public information pages.

Your action checklist

Use these checks to prepare a discussion with your team or supplier. Tick a check when you have recorded the decision or evidence, rather than when a feature has simply been promised.
