What this page is for

Here you choose your own words for nine common terms, so the app speaks like your business. For example, a spa may say "Treatment" instead of "Class", or "Guest" instead of "Client". At the top, you also choose what the app calls your place: Gym, Spa, Studio, Club, Centre or your own word.

What you see

What do you call your place?: a card at the top. The choices are Gym, Spa, Studio, Club, Centre and Your own word. Under each ready-made choice you see its word in English, French and Arabic. A line below shows an example sentence with the word.
Words for: the language whose words you are editing (English, العربية or Français). Your own panel stays in your language.
The list: one row for each of the nine words: Class, Trainer, Facility, Membership, Session, Booking, Client, Staff Member and Appointment.
Word: the normal word, with a line such as "Normally: Class / Classes".
Your word (one) and Your word (many): your own word for one and for more than one. An empty box means the normal word is used.
Reset to default (the round arrow): clears your words on that row.
Save Changes (top) and Save All Changes (bottom): both save every row.

How to choose what you call your place

In What do you call your place?, pick Gym, Spa, Studio, Club or Centre. This sets the word in all three languages at once.
Or pick Your own word and type the word for each language:
• English: the word alone, for example "salon".
• French: with its article, for example "le salon", "la piscine" or "l'institut".
• Arabic: with ال, for example "الصالون".
Click Save the word.
From then on, the staff panel, the client panel, the app's messages, the owner's emails and these help pages use your word.

How to rename a word

Under Words for, pick the language.
Find the row, for example Class.
Type your word in Your word (one), for example "Session".
Type the plural in Your word (many), for example "Sessions".
Click Save Changes.

How to go back to the normal word

Click Reset to default on the row. Both boxes empty.
Click Save Changes.

How to rename a word in another language

Pick the other language under Words for.
Type your words, then click Save Changes.
Each language keeps its own words. A rename in English does not change Arabic or French.

Good to know

What you call your place: Gym is the default, so nothing changes until you pick another. Your own word can be up to 40 characters. Save the word saves only that card; the list of words has its own save buttons. The admin can also set the word when creating your business.
Where your words show: in the staff panel and the client panel, wherever the app uses that term. They show straight after saving.
Not every use changes. Longer fixed labels, such as a menu name like "Classes & Services" or a category name, keep their words.
Plain words only: up to 60 characters, without the signs < > { }.
Unsaved changes: if you switch language or leave the page with unsaved words, the app asks first.
Who can do what: anyone who can view settings can look at this page. Only the owner, or a role with permission to update settings, can save. Others see a note, and the boxes are locked.

Common questions

Can I call it a spa instead of a gym? Yes. Pick Spa under What do you call your place?, then click Save the word. The app and these help pages then say "spa".

I saved a word, but one screen still shows the old one. Why?
That screen uses a fixed label, not the term. Only the term itself is renamed.

Does saving change my panel's language?
No. Words for only picks which language's words you edit.

How do I undo all my renames?
Click Reset to default on each row you changed, then Save Changes.
