Sauna Der Wellnessbereich ist von 15:00 bis 20:00 Uhr geöffnet. Bitte beachten Sie, dass in der Sauna aus hygienischen Gründen keine Badebekleidung getragen wird. Bademäntel und Saunatücher liegen in Ihrem Zimmer bereit.

Translation (English):
Breakfast Our breakfast buffet is served every day from 7:30 to 10:00 am in the Stone Pine Room. Most of what you'll find on it comes from farms in the local area. If you have any food intolerances, just let us know the evening before.
Sauna The spa area is open from 3:00 to 8:00 pm. Please note that, as is customary in Germany, swimwear is not worn in the sauna for reasons of hygiene. You'll find bathrobes and sauna towels ready in your room.
Check-out Please vacate your room by 10:30 am on the day of departure. Late check-out until 2:00 pm is available for an extra €25, subject to availability.
Translator's notes
- Zirbenstube — kept as a room name, translated as "Stone Pine Room" so guests can find it on signs that also show the English name
- Sauna rule — added "as is customary in Germany": without it, many English-speaking guests read the rule as unusual or a mistake
- Times — switched to 12-hour format with am/pm for the target audience; euro prices left unchanged

About this service
We adapt the text of your website for a new market, not just translate it: headlines and calls to action are rewritten to sound natural, examples and references are swapped for local ones, and dates, units, currency and phone formats are localized. Page titles and meta descriptions are localized too, using the phrases people search for in that language. Text that tends to grow, such as German or French, is flagged where the layout may be tight.
What is included
- What you getThe localized text page by page, in the same order as your site, with localized page titles and meta descriptions, a glossary and notes on cultural or layout points.

Questions and answers
Can you put the text on my site?
No, we do not access websites or CMS accounts. You get the text page by page and paste it in.
Will the localized site rank in that country?
We localize titles and meta tags with local phrases, but we cannot promise rankings.
What about menus and buttons?
Paste them with the page text. Short UI items are translated with length in mind.
