When users visit your website, it opens in the default language. For versions of the site in other languages, a language prefix is added to the URL. For example, if your website's address in English is https://site.com, the Spanish version would be https://site.com/es.
When a second language is enabled, system messages (e.g., Page not found) and system buttons (e.g., Leave feedback) are automatically translated. However, any custom text you've added will need to be translated manually.
To enable multiple languages for the website, send a request to the support team. After your request is processed, you will be able to add new languages for your site.
Go to the Multilanguage page in the Settings. Click on the Add language button.
Choose other languages.
Translate the name and description of the site in the Main settings.
Translate the name and description of the site as soon as possible, as they affect the website search promotion.
Go to the Pages section. The abbreviation indicates the current language. Click on it to switch between languages.
In the second language mode, translate the page titles in the menu. Click on the (⋮) next to a page name and select Settings.
Translate the text on the pages. Pay attention to the texts in forms and products if you have them.
If you decide to add multilple languages to the website, translate all pages. If you leave the pages untranslated (in one language), then search engines will see them as duplicates, which will negatively affect search promotion.
As a result, you will have a website in two or more languages.
