The guest writes in their language, your housekeeper replies in hers, and the translation happens on its own in between. No message goes unanswered for lack of a language. And phrases that come up often are translated only once — after that, it's instant.
A tool that promises "240+ languages" without saying which leaves you guessing. Hostik says clearly which languages are native quality, and guarantees every other one is still understood — you know exactly what to expect.
The guest writes in Albanian from their room. Albanian isn't among the native-quality languages — no matter: the message is translated to French for the housekeeper, who replies in French, and the guest reads it back in Albanian. Neither one had to learn the other's language.
German is one of the native-quality languages. The result is far more natural: the tone is kept, the formal address is preserved, the dates are in the right format. The manager sees the thread in French, the guest reads it in flawless German.
"Welcome to Hostik Marseille" is translated only once per language. The 2nd time, the 100th, the 10,000th: it's free and instant. And a hotel's messages repeat a lot — check-lists, welcomes, standard replies. That's what keeps translation affordable.
Below: the languages translated in native quality — the most natural result possible. Any other language is automatically handled by our backup service, bringing the total to more than 240.
Beyond these, any other language is handled automatically — Albanian, Hebrew, Hindi, Persian, Swahili, Vietnamese, and many more, over 240 in total. Remembered phrases and included amounts work the same way everywhere.
Translation isn't left to chance: native quality on the main languages, automatic backup on all the others, sensitive data hidden, and an amount included that fits each plan.
About thirty languages get native-quality translation — as natural as possible. For all the others, a backup service automatically steps in, bringing the total to more than 240 languages. No message goes untranslated.
Emails, phone numbers, bank details and card numbers are hidden before the text is sent for translation. Your guests stay protected, and privacy is respected from the start.
Once translated, a phrase is remembered for its language pair. Check-lists, welcomes and standard replies come up again and again: they're translated once, then reused for free. That's what keeps the cost in check.
Each plan includes a clear translation amount. Phrases already remembered count for you (you see everything that's translated) but aren't charged again: transparency on one side, savings on the other.
Many tools advertise "240+ languages" without saying which, or which ones are truly natural. Hostik says clearly which languages are native quality and guarantees all the others are still understood — you know what you get.
