Wix Multilingual: About Locales

Discover how to enhance your site's engagement by adding locales, which combine language and region to tailor your content for different audiences. This feature allows you to create distinct versions of your site for various regions, improving relevance and user experience. Learn when and how to implement locales effectively, and consider the implications for your site's management and SEO. By following best practices, you can better connect with your target audience.

<div data-component-type="text"><div>A locale is a combination of language and region. Add locales to adjust your site's text for different physical areas of the same language. Locales align your site's content with the distinct needs of your target audience. For example, set versions of your site for English in England (en-GB) and in Ireland (en-IE). Each version will get its own URL and regional formats (e.g., metric vs. imperial systems). </div></div><div data-component-type="informative"><div class="info-container" info-color="blue"><div class="info-title">Note:</div><div class="info-content"><ul>
  <li>Setting locales is optional. </li>  <li>Locales may be beneficial for sites that have different content per region.</li>  <li>Selecting a region may reduce SEO discoverability in other regions. </li></ul></div></div></div><div data-component-type="line"><hr line-style="thin" /></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="when-adding-locales-can-be-beneficial" level="3">When adding locales can be beneficial</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Adding locales depends on the content you want to display to your target audience. It can be beneficial for sites that:</div></div><div data-component-type="text"><ul>
  <li>Focus on specific groups of people.</li>  <li>Cater to different regional preferences within the same language.</li>  <li>Have content which varies between regions. </li></ul></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="example-1-a-few-regions-with-the-same-language" level="4">Example 1: A few regions with the same language </h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>This is the best use case for adding a region per language. For example, let's say you built a site for a law firm with offices in both Australia and New Zealand. You can display your local teams in your sites about page for each country. It's justified to add locales because you know that your business is in specific places. Although both places speak English, you have different content for each site version. This may include different team members, legal terms, images of your offices, contact information, etc.</div></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="example-2-one-prominent-main-language-and-one-with-a-specific-local" level="4">Example 2: One prominent main language and one with a specific local</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Assume your site has a large audience in English. Now, you want to create specialty content for an English-speaking region like Australia. You can keep English (en) as your site's main language and not add a region. Later, if you have a distinct content variation, you can add a secondary language with a region (en-AU). </div></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="example-3-one-region-with-a-few-languages" level="4">Example 3: One region with a few languages</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>This use case does not justify adding a region per language. For example, let's say you built a site for an online store. Your audience is in Canada, where both English and French are official languages. You can select one of these languages as a main language and the other as a secondary language. You don't need to add locales. The reason is that search engines already know the location of the site. They also know the location of your site visitors. That's how they show them relevant search results, and besides, the content is similar. </div></div><div data-component-type="line"><hr line-style="thin" /></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="considerations-for-adding-regions-for-languages" level="3">Considerations for adding regions for languages</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><ul>
  <li><strong>Effort: </strong>Managing several locales requires more resources and complicates content creation and maintenance. If your audience is small or non-segmented, the added effort may not be worthwhile.</li>  <li><strong>Business expansion:</strong> Consider the long-term implications of expanding your business. Adding a locale might help target a specific audience now. But later when you want to reach a wider audience, you will have more work. You will need to either add more locales or change your site's main locale.</li>  <li><strong>Commitment: </strong>To change your site's main language, you need to uninstall Wix Multilingual. This action deletes all translations. When you reinstall it later, you will need to translate your site again.</li></ul></div><div data-component-type="line"><hr line-style="thin" /></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="questions-to-ask-yourself" level="3">Questions to ask yourself</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>To sum up, adding locales is a powerful feature. It can improve engagement when applied with best practice. This can be well-appreciated by your site's audience. But it might not be the best fit for your site.

  <li>Do you have a <strong>distinct</strong> difference between the different language versions of your site?</li>  <li>Can you <strong>maintain</strong> a few site versions, know the local phrasing, and be able to adjust the local phrasing for each?</li>  <li>Are you certain that these are the <strong>specific</strong> locales you want to target?</li></ul></div><div data-component-type="line"><hr line-style="thin" /></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="faqs" level="3">FAQs</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Click a question below to learn more about adding locales.</div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Can I create different versions of my site for regions within the same country?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>No. It's not possible to add regions within the same country. Locales are different from dialects. For example, you can't have a site in the US and create separate versions for New York and Texas. If you would like to see this feature added, <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-request-using-multiple-dialects-of-the-same-language" target="">vote for it here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div><strong>Note: </strong>Some language dialects are available, such as simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">What are locales?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div><a data-composite="true" href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/localized-versions#language-codes" target="_blank">A locale</a> is a combination of language and regional aspects. These include date formats, currency, and measurements. For example, &quot;en-US&quot; represents English as spoken and formatted in the United States. While &quot;en-GB&quot; pertains to English as used in the United Kingdom. </div><div><br /></div><div>In Wix Multilingual both the regional formats and the content need to be different. You can always <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/changing-your-sites-regional-settings" target="">change your site's regional settings</a> to whatever suits your needs. For example, you can set your site's locale to be in Israel. Then use Saudi Arabia's regional formats like time and currency and set your site's main language to be French.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">What are regions? </h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>In the context of a locale, <a data-composite="true" href="https://developers.google.com/search/docs/specialty/international/localized-versions#language-codes" target="_blank">a region</a> refers to a specific geographical area or country. The region influences how people use the language. It also tells us how to configure regional settings. These include factors like date formats, currency symbols, and measurements. They also have certain linguistic variations that are unique to the region. </div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Do I need to know the local phrasing to localize the content?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>Yes, you are the one that will be adjusting your site's content. Wix offers the feature of specifying a locale. All actual localization of the content remains in your hands. This means that you need to know the words used in the specific locale. For example, to know that &quot;Clearance Sale&quot; is for the en-US version of your site. But that &quot;Closing Down Sale&quot; is for the en-GB version. You also need to change every relevant text on your site. </div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Can I change my mind about the locale later?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>The answer depends on your site settings. </div><div><br /></div><div>If the locale is in your site's main language, then<strong> </strong>no. Once you decide on a locale during the setup, it becomes a fixed setting that you cannot change later. If you need a different locale, you'll need to uninstall Wix Multilingual and re-add it. This action will delete all your translations. If you would like to see this feature added, <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-multilingual-request-changing-your-sites-main-language" target="">vote for it here</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>But, if your locale is in your site's secondary languages, then<strong> </strong>yes. You can add new secondary locales or delete existing ones as needed. Know that this process is complex. To keep your translations, you will need to first export your site content. Then, remove the language, add the language with the region, and then import the content back.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Can I show different items on my site per locale? </h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>That depends on the item and the app they're in. You can adjust some aspects per language, but not all. </div><div><br /></div><div>For Wix apps like Stores, Events, and more, you can translate the names of items or events per locale one by one. For example, you can use &quot;jumper&quot; for en-GB and &quot;sweatshirt&quot; for en-US. </div><div><br /></div><div>But you cannot have different items per locale. For example, if you have a clothing store selling in Canada and Australia. You cannot show the winter collection in one site version and the summer collection in the other.

Editing these fields directly in the CSV often disrupts the JSON structure, causing import errors. Unless you’re experienced with JSON formatting, it's best not to translate these fields directly in the CSV.</div><div><br /></div><div>To avoid errors, use the Translation Manager for rich content fields. Look for the <strong>Edit translation</strong> link in the Translation Manager, which opens a rich content editor. This editor ensures the JSON formatting is correct so you can import your file without issues.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">What can cause the import process to fail?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>The import process might fail for several reasons. Check the following:</div><ul>
  <li>Your file is saved in the CSV format.</li>  <li>You haven’t made changes to the “ID” column in the file.</li>  <li>Rich content fields (with JSON code) are translated using the Translation Manager to maintain proper formatting.</li></ul></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Why do I see more than one language in the exported file?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>Each exported file contains two languages: the first column includes the content in your Source language, this is your original language (you shouldn’t edit this) and the second column (marked Target language) where you can edit the translation in your target language.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">I do not see any new translations, what is the reason?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>The issue is likely caused by one of the following: </div><ul>
  <li>You added the translated content to the wrong language. </li>  <li>Changes to the “ID” column in the CSV file. </li>  <li>The last column &quot;Target Language&quot; is empty. </li></ul></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">What can I do if my file does not download?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>If a download didn’t start, press the “Download File” button in the green banner that appears at the top of your screen.</div><div><img data-composite="true" src="https://d2x3xhvgiqkx42.cloudfront.net/12345678-1234-1234-1234-1234567890ab/13691038-5aa8-4672-9b95-348c0733cabc/2023/08/22/67610b75-5615-4a71-a69e-2dd09d3ee9f0/8b312cc1-0efd-4545-826d-39ca6af3871f.png" alt="A screenshot showing the green banner that appears across your site that allows you to click and restart the download." /></div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Is it possible to override content?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>Yes, when you import your newly translated content, any fields in the translated language column where you entered content, will override existing content in Wix Multilingual for that specific language.</div><div><strong>Tip:</strong> If you wish not to override a specific piece of content, simply leave the field column empty in the file.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Is there any site content that cannot be exported?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>Yes, the exported content doesn’t include content from non-integrated business solutions and Third-party apps.

Meaning, you can only export one target language per file.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">What happens if I have existing translations in my target language?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>The exported file also contains any existing translations in the target language, if they exist. This means that your CSV file will contain both new and existing translations in your target language. </div></div></div></div>
