How to translate the interface and content
← BackOn the “Site languages” tab, each language has two rows with a “Translate” button: “Interface” translates module labels, “Content” translates your texts.
Translation runs on two tracks, and for each enabled language they appear as separate rows, each with its own progress bar:
- “Interface” — buttons, field labels, and messages of the modules themselves. They are shared by all sites.
- “Content” — what you wrote: section names and content, products, plans, SEO fields.
- Open “General settings” → “Site languages”, the automatic translation card.
- Click “Translate” in the row you need and let the translation finish. It runs in batches — a few strings at a time, so as not to hit the server’s limit on script run time.
- If it was interrupted (you closed the tab, the connection dropped), just click again: the translation will continue from where it stopped.
The base language has no “Content” row: the texts in it are already written. And the “Interface” row is not needed for Russian — the module labels are originally in Russian.
The machine does not overwrite your edits. If you corrected a translation by hand, a repeat run will not touch it. The reverse is also true: your edit replaces the machine version.
If it didn’t work
- The bar does not reach the end. Click “Translate” again — the translation will continue rather than start from scratch.
- You translated, then changed the text in the base language. The translation will become outdated: run it again, and the changed string will be sent for translation anew.
- The “Translate” buttons are inactive. Automatic translation is not configured on the server — a notice at the top of the tab warns about this. You can translate manually.
