Dutch and Japanese now available

Outdooractive continues its international growth and presence with the addition of Dutch and Japanese as two new languages to the platform. Tourism is a global industry and by constantly translating and maintaining relevant languages, we are better able to communicate to visitors and users in their own language. This latest integration brings the number of available languages to 17 in total.

Our live languages are available across all of the the platform’s applications: Business accounts and both our websites and apps. Multilingualism gives our customers access to new target groups and potentially new guests. With all the platform software translated by us, our customers save having to invest time and money into agency work, programming and planning.

There is more to come as well. We are already working to expand the list with Hindi and Turkish are set to be our next additions.

In order to actively support our reseller in Portugal and to build a full connection with the Portuguese market, we are in the process of dividing Portuguese into European and Brazilian versions, raising similar opportunities in Brazilian market.   

We will keep you posted on further developments.
