Multi-Language Support

The Travel Agent web bookings application provides multi-language support, currently offering built-in localization for Icelandic and English. This ensures users experience the interface, messages, and data formatting (including numbers, dates, and currencies) in their preferred language and regional format. All UI elements adapt automatically based on the selected locale.

Additional languages will be supported in future releases, guided by user feedback and customer need.

Note: Language support is expanded as needed.

Automatic Language Detection

1. Browser Settings
   The booking form automatically detects and applies the user’s browser or device language preference.
2. URL Parameter
   Language selection can be explicitly set by appending bookingform.com/en/ or bookingform.com/is/ to the URL, overriding automatic detection.
