Language and time-zone controls for international bookings
Set the guest experience separately from the hours your business works.
13 guest languages
Offer booking in languages including English, Spanish, French, German and Arabic.
Guest confirmations
Visitor Language also applies to confirmation pages and guest notifications.
Calendar invitations
The selected visitor language applies to attendee calendar invites.
Separate dashboard language
Guest language does not change your dashboard, which currently uses English.
Working-hour schedules
Define the hours during which each service accepts bookings.
Date exceptions
Adjust availability for holidays and one-off changes.
Team meeting formats
Use round robin for available colleagues or collective scheduling for shared availability.
Online meeting locations
Offer remote appointments through connected video meeting tools.
Choose the language your guests see
LunaCal separates Visitor Language from App Interface Language. The guest setting covers the booking journey and notifications; the dashboard setting affects your own workspace.
- Open Settings → General.
- Choose Visitor Language and save with Update.
- Preview the booking page and guest messages in the selected language.
Keep the appointment time and the working schedule separate
Your hours define bookable time
Set the schedule your service follows. A client in another country sees the available times converted for their location.
The visitor sees their local time
Automatic time-zone detection changes the display of available slots. The booking still represents one appointment shared by host and guest.
Language is a separate setting
A French booking interface and a Paris time zone are different choices. Select the guest language and verify the time zone independently.
Team format determines who must attend
Collective meetings need overlapping host availability. Round robin allocates the appointment among available team members.
Localize the whole booking journey
Visitor Language applies beyond the calendar. Use the same guest language for the booking page, confirmation page, notification emails and calendar invitation.
Booking page
Guests choose their appointment using the selected interface language.
After submission
The confirmation page and guest messages follow the visitor-language setting.
Your own workspace
Keep using the English dashboard while your guests book in another supported language.
Keep holidays and service hours in your availability settings
Time-zone conversion does not decide when your business works. LunaCal availability schedules and date exceptions define those boundaries.
- Assign different saved schedules to services with different working hours.
- Add exceptions for dates when your team is unavailable.
- Use notice periods and buffers to leave preparation time.

International booking with the service workflow
Standard starts at $9 per user per month with unlimited calendars and services, payments and reminders. Teams adds shared scheduling and packages.

International scheduling questions
Do guests need to convert the appointment time themselves?
LunaCal automatically displays available slots in the visitor’s local time zone. Guests can review the displayed time zone before choosing an appointment.
Which parts of booking use the visitor language?
The setting applies to booking pages, confirmation pages, guest confirmation and notification emails, and attendee calendar invites.
Can my dashboard remain in English?
Yes. App Interface Language and Visitor Language are independent. The dashboard currently supports English.
Does changing guest language change my working hours?
No. Language controls the guest-facing interface and messages. Availability schedules control bookable hours.
Can I block holidays for international services?
Yes. Add date-specific availability exceptions for the service schedule rather than changing the normal weekly hours.
Can an international meeting have multiple hosts?
Yes. Use collective scheduling for a meeting requiring several hosts, or round robin when any available team member can handle it.
