Wix Multilingual: Automatically Showing Your Site to Visitors in the Language of their Browser
3 min read
Warning:
Activating language auto-switch is not recommended for search engines and will harm your site’s SEO if you are relying on organic traffic. Learn more in the FAQs section.
Automatically show visitors the language version of your site that matches their browser's language. This will help your site visitors explore your site in their local language. For example, if your site has a German version and a site visitor has their browser set to German, they're automatically rerouted to see your site in their preferred language.
Important:
If you enabled the cookie consent banner, your site visitors won't be able to manually change the language to one different from their browser's default until they accept the cookie banner.
