Languages and Translation
Your app can speak more than one language. Visitors pick a language from a globe menu in the navigation, and your pages are translated for them automatically.
Turn it on
- Open App Settings → General.
- Set Language Mode to Multi-Language.
- Choose the Default Language, the language your pages are written in.
- Tick every language you want to offer in Enabled Languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Hebrew, Arabic or Russian.
- Click Save.
A globe button with the language name now shows in the navigation. Visitors tap it and choose a language, and the app remembers the choice.
How the automatic translation works
- You write each page once, in your own language. You do not create a copy of the page for each language.
- When a visitor opens a page in another enabled language for the first time, the translation is made in the background. That first visitor sees the original text, and nobody waits.
- After a short time the translated page is ready and every visitor in that language sees it. Page names in the menu are translated too.
- If you change the original page, the translation is refreshed. Languages you did not enable are never translated.
Changing a translation by hand
- Open the page in the page editor.
- In the Editing Language box, choose the language under Show content in. The status shows if it is queued, translating, AI-translated or manually edited.
- Change the text and save. Saving there changes only that language, the original page stays as it is.
A page you edited by hand is marked Manually edited and is never replaced by an automatic translation, even when the original changes later. To go back to a fresh automatic translation, press Re-translate. This replaces the current version, including your edits.
Tip: Read the translated version of your important pages once, for example the home page and the prices, and fix any wording you do not like.
Note: The Editing Language box only shows when more than one language is enabled.
