[Updating my property description](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/online-content?hsLang=en#updating-my-property-description) # How to Translate Your Property Description? ### 🌍  *Adding your property’s description in multiple languages helps you **reach more travellers** and **increase your conversion rate**.* More than one-third of Hostelworld guests browse and book in their **native language**, and they’re more likely to choose hostels whose profiles are clearly written in that language. You can upload your property content in **up to 19 languages** directly through your **Hostelworld Inbox** ### **🛠️ How to Add or Update Your Description** You can manage all your property content through your **Inbox.** ### Step 1: Check existing translations On your **Inbox** , look for the **Languages** box. There, you’ll see which languages are already available for your property. *eg:* *![](https://support.hostelworld.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-09-2023-12-22-00-4065-PM.png?width=336&height=343&name=image-png-Aug-09-2023-12-22-00-4065-PM.png)* ### Step 2: Add or edit your description 1. Go to **Property Setup → Microsite Content → Property Description**. 2. Select the **language** you want to update. ![](https://support.hostelworld.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Aug-09-2023-12-24-07-2951-PM.png?width=670&height=426&name=image-png-Aug-09-2023-12-24-07-2951-PM.png) 1. Enter your translated description. 2. Click **Save**. --- #### 🕓 What Happens Next Once you’ve added or updated your content, please note that your changes **won’t appear immediately**. Our **Market Support Team** reviews and approves all new translations to ensure accuracy and consistency across the platform. After approval, your new content will be visible both in your **Back Office** and on your **Hostelworld profile**. --- #### 📌 Important Notes - If no translation is available, the **English version** will automatically appear by default. - Updating content in one language **does not automatically update** other languages. Each language version must be edited **individually and manually**. --- 💡 **Tip:** Adding high-quality translations can help travellers feel more confident booking your property — and that means more reservations for you! - [⚙️ Setting Up Your Hostelworld Profile](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/%EF%B8%8F-setting-up-your-hostelworld-profile?hsLang=en#main-content) - [🧭 Start Here](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/%EF%B8%8F-setting-up-your-hostelworld-profile?hsLang=en#start-here) - [🏠 Add Your Rooms and Rates](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/%EF%B8%8F-setting-up-your-hostelworld-profile?hsLang=en#add-your-rooms-and-rates) - [⚙️ Update Your Property Details](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/%EF%B8%8F-setting-up-your-hostelworld-profile?hsLang=en#%EF%B8%8F-update-your-property-details) - [📅 Policies and Profile Info](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/%EF%B8%8F-setting-up-your-hostelworld-profile?hsLang=en#policies-and-profile-info) - [🚀 Get Ready for Busy Times](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/%EF%B8%8F-setting-up-your-hostelworld-profile?hsLang=en#get-ready-for-busy-times) - [💡 Promotional Tools and Services](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#main-content) - [🎯 Promotions](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#promotions) - [🚀 Elevate](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#elevate) - [💬 Property Chat](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#property-chat) - [🤝 Linkups](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#linkups) - [🌟Featured Listing](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#featured-listing) - [💳 PayNow](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#paynow) - [📊 NCS (Net Competitive Score)](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/promotional-tools-and-services?hsLang=en#ncs-net-competitive-score) - [💰 Rates & Availability](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#main-content) - [📊 Understanding Rates](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#understanding-rates) - [💸 Non-Refundable & Flexible Rates](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#non-refundable-flexible-rates) - [🥐 Bed & Breakfast Rate](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#bed-breakfast-rate) - [🗓 Availability & Restrictions](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#availability-restrictions) - [🛏 Room Setup](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#room-setup) - [🔗 Channel Manager](https://support.hostelworld.com/knowledge/rates-availability?hsLang=en#channel-manager-1) - [New!
