Translation mode enables translations between a secondary cryptic language and Travelport+. When on, enter a cryptic entry in your secondary language and the Travelport+ equivalent entry displays.

     When Enable cryptic language translation is checked, enter cryptic entries in the secondary language you selected. The Travelport+ equivalent entry displays.

• To use a cryptic entry, enter one of the following formats.

Entry	Description
#TRANSLATE WORLDSPAN	Sets your secondary language to Worldspan and turns on translation.
