Tourplan is able to output itineraries in different languages. A Language Code attached to each Itinerary Segment identifies which segments are to be used when an itinerary is output.
Although the term language implies system foreign language translation capabilities, this is not the case. Itinerary Segments can be written in different languages and a translation table can be set up in which standard system output—days of the week; months of the year etc.—can be stored in the foreign languages being used. An Itinerary Message format can be set up (with the standard text being in the foreign language) and when outputting an Itinerary, it is a case of selecting the itinerary message format of the language that is to be output, or letting the system choose, based on the language code attached to the agent. (Itinerary Message Format setup is in the Section of this guide.
The language code can also be used separate different styles of itinerary—e.g., a short format itinerary that for example, may accompany quotations, and a long format itinerary which is used for bookings.
