Hi Rob,

Great to see you're integrating MEWS into your rental apartment website! Based on your description, it sounds like you're almost there. The solution to your query is actually quite straightforward. MEWS allows you to direct users to specific language versions of its landing pages by modifying the **language code** in the URL.

### Steps to Achieve This:
1. **Identify the Base URL**:  
   The MEWS landing page URL typically includes a language code parameter at the end of the link. For example:  
   - Dutch: `?lang=nl`
   - English: `?lang=en`
   - German: `?lang=de`

2. **Set Up Your Buttons**:  
   On your website, you can simply create buttons or links that append the correct language code based on the language version of your site. For example:  
   - Dutch website button: `https://yourmewslink.com/?lang=nl`
   - English website button: `https://yourmewslink.com/?lang=en`
   - German website button: `https://yourmewslink.com/?lang=de`

3. **Implementation**:  
   If your website is dynamic (e.g., using a CMS or custom code), you can programmatically generate the correct MEWS link by detecting the current language of the page and appending the corresponding language code to the MEWS URL.

### Example:
If your current button for the MEWS landing page looks like this:
```html
<a href="https://yourmewslink.com" class="booking-button">Book Now</a>
```

Update it to include the language parameter:
```html
<a href="https://yourmewslink.com/?lang=nl" class="booking-button">Boek Nu</a>
```
For the English version:
```html
<a href="https://yourmewslink.com/?lang=en" class="booking-button">Book Now</a>
```

Hi RobWu,

Thank you and congrats for your first post in the community. This is Ivan from Mews Support to assist you.

I understand that you wish to implement a language selector based on the potential guests preferences.

First, I'd suggest taking a look at the three different options Mews provides to connect/display booking engines: Standalone, Widget and API. Check our documentation for a full explanation of each option: Ways to integrate | Booking Engine Guide.

The first 2 options are limited in terms of customization, since the layout and design are Mews standard. However, both choices will allow you to implement the desired language selector, let's explore them:

• The Standalone version uses Deeplinks | Booking Engine Guide for customization. One of those deeplinks is language. You'll use the ISO 639 language codes followed by the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code in the following format (e.g. Netherlands): language=nl-NL.
  The complete link will be as follows: www.app.mews.com/distributor/utyourPropertysBookingEngineId]]?language=nl-NL *
• The Widget version uses scripts for customization Advanced guide | Booking Engine Guide. You can use a script to communicate with our API to select which language to display, following the language coding explained above. You can find more information here Reference | Booking Engine Guide. *

* available languages can be found here Supported language codes | Booking Engine Guide.

The last option, Booking Engine API, allows for a complete customization. Nevertheless, there are some requisites to attend and some testing and higher development required to use it. Have a look at this option here Booking Engine API | Booking Engine Guide.

I hope to have helped you with my comment, please don’t hesitate to reach back should you need more information. Good luck with your implementation!!

Best,

Ivan

Hi Robin,

Thanks for that!
In hindsight so easy when looking at your examples. ;)

Is there a shortcut list somewhere for all language switches?
I kinda guessed the shortcut for US English (= en-US), but UK English (British) is alluding me for now.
It's not ‘en-UK’ for some reason…

But this already solves the language sync between webpages. :)

Disregard the language switch list question.
Found it here: Language support in Mews

Should have looked before posting ;)

Glad to be at your service ;-)
