Example Use Cases
If you have e.g. vegitarian Restaurants you can add the word "Vegitarian" in many different languages. So even if the user searches for "Vegitarisch" (Germany), "Wegetarianin" (Polish), "Végétarien" (Franch) or "Vegetariano" (Spanish) the user will always find the related content
You can add secret collections for e.g. a specific client. So this client will find their specific Hotels, Bars, Restaurant and other Places you curated for them.
Tip You can even add the translations to all the Tags. So you don't have to add all the translations individually and manually to all the Places entries. If you have the tag "Vegitarian" you can add all the translations to it and they are automatically assigned to the Places entries this tag is assigned to.
