Customize your site menu per language so your site visitors see content relevant for their demographic. You can also reorder items or hide some of them per language. Doing so may improve your site's SEO by matching search queries in different languages.

Translating your site menu

Translate your site menu so visitors can browse in their own language, making your site more inclusive. For example, translating "Emergency Services" to "Services d'Urgence" for French visitors ensures they can quickly find critical help. 
  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click the Switch Languages panel at the top of the editor.

  1. Select the relevant language.
  2. Select your menu type and follow the steps: 

Changing the order of menu items per language

Customize your site menu for each language so visitors see the most relevant content. For example, a French version of your site might prioritize "Women's Clothing," while the German one may show "Men's Clothing" first. Changing the order in one language doesn't affect others.
  1. Go to your editor.
  2. (If you have a regular menu) Convert your menu to an advanced menu. 
  3. Click the Switch Languages panel at the top of the editor.

Showing or hiding menu items per language

Show or hide menu items for each language to promote different content to different site visitors. For example, you might display "Local Events" on the Spanish site and hide it on the English site. Adjusting visibility in one language doesn't affect others.
  1. Go to your editor.
  2. Click the Switch Languages panel at the top of the editor.
