Wix Bookings: Translating Your Site
4 min read
Make your site attractive to potential clients around the world by offering your bookings site in multiple languages. Wix Multilingual allows you to start by auto-translating your site (while making any necessary corrections), or by doing the translation on your own.
Before you begin:
Start by adding and setting up Wix Multilingual. You can add the Multilingual app from your editor, your site's dashboard, or from the Wix App Market.
Step 1 | Manage translations in your site's dashboard
In the dashboard, you can translate the text associated with your Service Options and Variants, Category, Service and Booking policy.
Tip:
If you auto-translate your site, you should review the automated translations.
To manage your translations:
- Go to Translation Manager in your site's dashboard.
- Click Bookings on the left.
- Choose the relevant option:
- If you auto-translated your site: Review each of the automated translations and edit if necessary.
- If you didn't use auto-translation: Translate each of the content types on the left and manually translate the content phrases one by one.
Step 2 | Translate booking pages in your editor
Next, head over to your editor and translate all Bookings pages including Service Page, Booking Calendar, Cart Page and more. Some text may already be automatically translated, but you can edit it if necessary.
Note:
When you add Wix Bookings, the pages come with text. This text, if left unchanged, is automatically translated. However, if you changed this default English text, you need to manually translate it.
Wix Editor
Studio Editor
- Go to the main language version in your editor:
- Click the Switch Language drop-down menu at the top left of the editor.
- Select the language you want to manage.
- Go to a bookings page (e.g. the Service Page) and click to select it.
- Click Settings.
- Click the Text tab.
- Update the relevant text as needed.
Step 3 | Translate booking elements in your editor
You can translate any of your booking elements, such as Featured Service and Next Availability. Note that some elements are optional additions that you may not have added to your site.
Wix Editor
Studio Editor
- Go to your editor.
- Click the Switch languages drop-down menu at the top of the editor.
- Select the language you want to edit.
- Select the element you want to translate:
- Featured Service
- Service List
- Book Button
- Calendar
- Next Availability
- Weekly Timetable
- Daily Agenda
- Cart Icon
- Translate any text options that were not automatically translated.
Step 4 | Publish and test your site
Once you've finished translating your site, make sure to make the language visible to visitors. Then publish your site as usual.
We recommend previewing the checkout process in each language, before you launch your multilingual Bookings site. This lets you view what customers will see when they make a purchase.
What's next?
Continue translating the other pages in your site. We also recommend translating your automated emails into your site's languages. This allows you to speak to your audience in their language, offering a more local experience.
