Supported languages
Supported languages depend on the component of Peripass:
Self-service kiosk: 15 default languages + any language* you configure yourself.
Driver communication: any language* you configure yourself
Management portal: fixed languages: English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish & Italian
*Only languages with Roman characters. On the kiosk, languages can be displayed, but input is limited to qwerty, azerty, and qwertz.
How to use
Peripass allows you to translate all your communication in any language (1). In a lot of places in Peripass, you will see a tab named “Translations”. This means that the topic you are configuring could be displayed to visitors and therefore needs a translation.
For each tenant, you can choose which languages should be supported. You can do this in Configuration > General settings > Languages tab.
Translations can be imported in bulk: Bulk translations import/export
AI translations
Peripass has a built-in AI translation engine to automatically translate everything for you. This allows you to skip lengthy manual translation processes and implement Peripass faster.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
After uploading the Excel file, there is a "success" message, and then nothing happens.
Behavior: There is no line in the log indicating that the import is “running”.
Probable root cause: The Excel file has been altered in a way that prevents it from being uploaded.
Solution: Take a new export. Copy-paste the data from your original file into the new exported file and upload it again.
