How to add a second language
← BackCheck a language on the “Site languages” tab in general settings and click “Save languages” — a switcher will appear, and addresses will get a prefix like /en/.
- Open “General settings” and go to the “Site languages” tab.
- Check the “Base language” — the language in which the site’s texts are written. It stays on the regular addresses (
/about), while the others get a prefix:/en/about. - Check the desired language in the list (there is a search by language and country) and click “Save languages”.
- Start the translation: in the automatic translation card, each language has two rows — “Content” (your texts: sections, products, plans) and “Interface” (the labels of the modules themselves), each with its own “Translate” button.
The visitor’s language is detected automatically: by country, then by browser settings. The choice made in the switcher is remembered for a year. Search robots are excluded from this — they always get exactly the address they requested, otherwise the base-language version would not get into the index.
Below, on the same tab, is “Sections and informers by language”: there you can hide a section in a particular language or show another one in its place.
If it didn’t work
- Part of the text remained untranslated. Click “Translate” again: translation runs in batches and may have been interrupted. Strings you edited by hand are not overwritten by the machine.
- The “Translate” buttons are inactive. Automatic translation is not configured on the server. You can still enable languages and translate manually.
- Product names in calculations are not translated. Some service names are keys the engine works with; they stay as they are and are not shown on the storefront.
