Multiple languages

If you serve tourists, international customers or speakers of other languages, you can publish your site in more than one language. The design stays the same in every language: same blocks, same layout, same photos. For the other languages you only enter the text.

Visitors switch your site's language with the language switcher in the header. Spanish pages open at addresses starting with /es (willow-lane-bakery.bunnyrain.app/es).

Turn on multiple languages

Enter the translations

Press the language button in the editor. The list shows the main language (Main language · design) and the other languages; languages without a translation say Not translated yet.

Have the assistant translate

The quickest way is the assistant. Press AI and write "Write the Spanish version of the site". The assistant first translates the open page, the header and the footer, then the other pages and blog posts one by one; you can follow the progress in the notification at the bottom of the screen.

When translating, the assistant only changes the text; it doesn't touch your design, your prices or your photos.

Fix it yourself

Choose Español in the language button. The editor switches to translation mode, and a strip saying Editing Español — you can only change the text appears above the page. Click the text on the page and type the translation; fields you don't translate show in the main language.

The counter on the right of the strip shows how many texts are translated.

In translation mode only the text changes. To add or delete blocks, or change a layout or an image, press Back to English design in the strip; the change applies to every language. Prices are also the same in every language and are changed in the main language.

To translate the header and footer text (menu, button, tagline), open the Header or Footer panel while in translation mode.

Publish

Translations are saved to the draft too. When you press Publish, every language goes live together. If a page has no translation, it isn't published in that language; a Spanish-speaking visitor only sees translated pages in the menu.

You can change how the language switcher looks (code, flag, name) in the Header panel. See Header and footer.

Changing the main language

After the first translation is written, the main language picker is locked, because your text is in that language. If you want to change your site's main language (for example, if most of your visitors speak Spanish), press Change main language under Settings > Multiple languages. The translations in the language you choose become the site's main text, and the old main language stays as a translation. The design doesn't change.

Turning multiple languages off

If you turn off Publish my site in multiple languages, the site is published only in the main language. Your translations aren't deleted; they're still there when you turn it back on.
