Wix Multilingual: Adding and Setting Up Wix Multilingual
Use Wix Multilingual to display your content in different languages, so visitors around the world get the most out of your site.
You can add Wix Multilingual to your site from inside your Editor or through the App Market. Start by selecting your main site language as the language your visitors will first encounter, and add secondary languages as needed.
Important:
- Once you've selected your site's main language, you cannot change it to a different language. If this is something you'd like to see in the future, you can vote for that feature.
