Adding a language to your site
With Wix Multilingual, you can add multiple languages to your site, and manage them from your dashboard.
To add a language to your site:
- Go to Multilingual in your site's dashboard.
- Click + Add Language.
- Select the language you want to add from the Language drop-down.
- Select a flag to represent the language from the Flag drop-down.
- Choose how you want to start translating: Manual translation or Machine translation.
- (If available) Click the Make site in {language} visible right away drop-down and choose an option:
- No, keep it hidden for now: Keep the new language version hidden from your live site for now. You can unhide it later.
- Yes, make it visible right away: Make the new language version of your site available so visitors and search engines can view it. You can do this later if needed.
- Click Add Language.
Showing or hiding a language on your site
Any time you add a secondary language, it is hidden by default. When you finish translating that language and are happy with how it looks, unhide it to show it to the world.
To show or hide a language:
- Go to Multilingual in your site's dashboard.
- Click the Status drop-down next to the relevant language and select an option:
- Visible: The language is accessible to site visitors and appears in the language menu.
- Hidden: The language is not accessible to site visitors (even with a direct link) and does not appear in the language menu.
Deleting a language from your site
When you delete a language, its translations and any changes you made to that language are permanently deleted.
To delete a language:
- Go to Multilingual in your site's dashboard.
- Click the More Actions icon
next to the language you want to delete. - Select Delete language.
- Click Delete to confirm.
