Multilingual content with the AI translate button
What is multilingual content?
With the English-language site (International Unlock, €299 one-off), your lesson types, packages, gift cards, group lessons, drills, client emails, friends programme and messages get an English tab. You fill in the translation yourself or let AI make a suggestion with Translate from NL. An empty English field falls back to Dutch.
How do you activate the English-language site?
- Open a management page that can have an English version, for example Lesson types, and set the language choice to English. Without the unlock the card Unlock the English-language site appears there. Click Unlock for €299 and pay via Mollie.
- You return to your dashboard. Golfly checks for half a minute whether the payment has come in and then shows "International Unlock activated!". If it takes longer, you see "Payment being processed" and you refresh the page later.
- The card disappears, and from then on the management pages show the tab English with the fields behind it.
The card is no longer on your dashboard; you only come across it where you want to enter English text. On a bespoke site without the unlock there is no English tab; in that case contact Golfly.
How do you translate a part?
- Open for example Admin → Lessons, tab Lesson types, and expand a lesson type.
- Click the tab English.
- Fill in the fields yourself, or click Translate from NL. You see "Translation suggested".
- Check the text and click Save.
The translation is made by Claude Haiku 4.5. Golfly stores it as separate text: if you later change the Dutch, the old English text stays until you translate again or edit it yourself.
Which parts have an English tab?
- Lesson types: name and description.
- Packages: name, description, features and badge. Features only work if you translate all of them; otherwise they all stay Dutch.
- Gift cards: name, description and badge. You translate the subtitle by hand.
- Group lessons, with the button Translate topics for the topics per session.
- Drills in your video library.
- Emails to clients: subject, heading and intro.
- Friends programme, with the button Translate with AI.
- Messages: the English tab only appears if there are English-speaking clients in your target group. You then see how many clients will receive the English version.
Not translatable: Site settings (brand name, tagline, bio). On a site on the Golfly template, the site itself, the menu and the booking page stay Dutch; there are no English web addresses and no language button on the site. On a bespoke site Golfly manages the English pages separately.
What does your client notice?
A client is English-speaking if they chose that in My Account, or if on a bespoke site they booked via the English page. Golfly sends such a client English emails, with your English texts where you have entered them and otherwise the standard English text.
With the English-language site My Account shows a language button (English or Nederlands). If your client chooses English there, their My Account and their emails are in English from then on. Without the unlock that button is not there.
Frequently asked questions
What if I leave an English field empty?
Then an English-speaking client sees the Dutch text of that field. So you do not have to translate everything at once. The exception is the features of a package: those are all or nothing.
Do I have to update the translation when I change the Dutch?
Yes. The English text does not change along with it.
I see "International Unlock not active" when translating
The payment has not yet been processed, or the unlock is not active for your account. Refresh your dashboard; if the card stays, contact Golfly.
Do golfers on my site see that I also teach in English?
Not on a template site. Your English texts are there for clients who chose English in My Account, and for their emails. An English-language booking page does not yet exist on template sites.
Can I switch the admin itself to English?
Yes. Click your name at the bottom left and choose English. On your phone that button is under More. The choice applies only to your account and is separate from the language of your site and your clients. To switch back, choose Nederlands in the same place. If you do not see the button, your admin is Dutch-only for now.
