Languages
The Languages tab translates your entire site in one go. The AI translates every headline, button and form label while your layout stays as it is, and visitors switch between languages instantly. Use it when you sell to more than one market and don’t want to keep a copy of the site per language.
It lives in Settings → Site → Languages. It isn’t offered for mobile apps.
Translating your site
Section titled “Translating your site”- Under Site language, pick the language your site is written in.
- Under Translate into, click each language you want. Popular ones are listed as chips; find any other in + More languages….
- Choose a Language switcher (see below) and, if you like, turn on Auto-detect visitor language.
- Click Translate now.
When it finishes, a Translation complete summary lists each language with how many strings it holds, how many were new and how many were reused. Open the preview and switch the language to check it. Save settings saves the choices on this tab without translating.
Translating runs on your AI credits. Running it again after you edit the site is incremental — only new text is translated, and anything left over is picked up on the next run.
Choosing how visitors switch
Section titled “Choosing how visitors switch”| Option | What visitors get |
|---|---|
| Floating button | A small globe bubble in a page corner — pick Top left, Top right, Bottom left or Bottom right. Works everywhere with no setup. |
| In your header | Click Place in header with AI and the AI builds a switcher into your site’s navigation, matching its style — native language names, the current language highlighted, the mobile menu included. You can ask it to restyle or move it afterwards. |
| Hidden | No visible switcher. Visitors reach a language through a link, or through your own custom control. |
Whatever you choose, a link like yoursite.com?lang=es opens the site in that language — useful in
ads and emails.
With Auto-detect visitor language on, first-time visitors see the site in their browser’s language when you have it.
Fixing a translation by hand
Section titled “Fixing a translation by hand”Open Edit texts to see every string next to its translation. Pick the language at the top and use Search texts… to find a phrase.
- Editing the translation changes that one entry. Manual edits survive later Translate now runs.
- Editing the original changes the text on your site itself, and its translations move along with it.
Changes apply as soon as you leave the field.
Things worth knowing
Section titled “Things worth knowing”- The Dictionaries list shows each language, how many strings it has and when it was last updated.
- Turn off localization removes the language switcher and the translations from the live site. The dictionaries are kept, so you can turn it back on later.
