Set up the multi-lingual website

To set up a multi-lingual website, the users need to add languages to the website.

After adding languages, the users need to translate the entire website content from the default language into the languages that have just been added.

Translate website contents

To translate website contents, you must change the default language to the language you want to translate by moving the mouse over to the website footer and selecting the language you want to translate.

Tip

  • The button names for activating the translation feature might be changed depending on the language that the users choose for the website (For example, if you select Vietnamese, the Translate button will be displayed as Dịch).

  • When you translate a sentence/phrase, if there are identical sentences/phrases on the same interface, the software will automatically update the translation for them.

  • Translation feature is only displayed when the users select a language that is different from the default language of the website.
