How it works
- Pick the site’s languages. In your project’s Domains tab, the Site languages card declares which languages the site serves and which one is the source: the language you write in. Each page remembers the source it was created with: changing the site’s source later applies to the navbar, footer and pages you create afterwards, while existing pages keep serving the language they were written in at their bare URL.
- Write in your language. The page editorial (badge, headline, description) and the navbar and footer are yours to write exactly as before, in the source language.
- The rest is filled in. After every save, anything missing in the other languages is machine-translated automatically (with the exceptions listed under What gets translated). Saving stays instant in the language you edited; the translations land a few seconds later and the public pages update on their own.
One URL per language
Each language gets its own address, which is what makes translated pages real pages (shareable, cacheable and indexable):/es, /en)
are reserved: a page cannot live at those paths.
Search engines are told about every variant with hreflang alternates in your sitemap,
each variant is its own canonical URL, and a variant whose translation has not landed yet
is served with a fallback and kept out of search indexes until it is complete. When a site
serves more than one language, the navbar shows a small language switcher.
Your edits always win
Every translated text remembers where it came from:
To edit a translation, switch the language selector in the editing dialog and type over
it. To hand a field back to the machine, clear it: an empty translated field is refilled
automatically on the next save. Re-translate re-runs the translation for a page or for
the navbar and footer: it fills gaps and refreshes outdated automatic text, and never
overwrites something you wrote.
What gets translated
- The page editorial: badge, headline, highlighted fragment and description.
- The page’s SEO title and meta description: the texts a search engine shows. They follow the same Auto / Edited / Outdated rules as the editorial; the page’s social image is shared across languages.
- The navbar and footer: link labels, footer group titles and the legal name. Link destinations are shared across languages; only the text is per-language.
- The agent’s display copy: the subtitle, description and suggested questions a visitor reads before typing. It belongs to the agent rather than the page, and is translated into the languages the agent itself speaks, so the same brain greets visitors in the right language on every page and every embed that uses it.
- The body of a document page (privacy, terms): a legal or informational document is yours to word, so the machine never translates it. Add each language yourself when you edit the page; a language you have not written serves the source document whole.
- Your knowledge base: the agent already answers in the visitor’s language, whatever language your documents are in.
- Asset alt text you curated per language, and internal names that visitors never see.
The conversation
The agent has always answered in the language the visitor writes in. With language variants, the conversation starts right too: a visitor on/en/… gets the English page,
English suggested questions, and an agent whose framing matches the page they are reading.
