How do I add multiple languages to my website?

Create a multilingual wedding website to welcome guests who speak different languages, with separate translations for each section.

Plan requirement: Pro plan

Short answer: Go to Settings > Languages to enable additional languages, then create translated versions of your content for each language.

Enabling additional languages

  1. Go to Settings in your dashboard
  2. Click Languages
  3. Select the additional languages you need
  4. Click Save

Creating translations

Once languages are enabled:

  1. Open the website builder
  2. Click on the language selector at the top of the builder
  3. Switch to the language you want to edit
  4. Edit sections to add translated content
  5. Each language maintains its own version of the text

How guests select their language

  • A language selector appears in your site menu
  • Guests can click to switch between available languages
  • You can also assign a preferred language to each guest so they see the correct version automatically

Assigning languages to guests

  1. Go to your guest list
  2. Edit a guest's details
  3. Select their preferred language
  4. When they visit via their RSVP link, they'll see their assigned language

Sharing a direct link to a specific language

You can link directly to a specific language version by adding ?lang= to the URL. For example, yourwedding.wedsites.com?lang=fr opens the site in French. This also works with RSVP and ecard links.

Note that when a guest opens a link with ?lang=, their preferred language is automatically updated to that language.

Tips

  • The site structure (pages, sections) is shared across languages - only the content translates
  • Date formats may display differently based on language settings
  • Test each language version thoroughly before sending invitations
  • Use ?lang= to quickly test each language version (e.g., ?lang=fr for French, ?lang=es for Spanish)
  • Consider using the language-specific ecards to match guest preferences
  • When testing personalized links, use a private/incognito window so the system treats you as the guest (otherwise you'll see your default language because you're logged in as the owner)
