How language switching works

When a guest clicks a language link:

  1. The site switches to show that language version
  2. They see the sections and pages for that language
  3. Their preference is saved for their session
  4. They can click another language link to switch again

Languages are independent

Remember that each language has its own independent sections and pages. When you added the language, all your content was automatically duplicated and translated. After that:

  • Each language version can be edited separately
  • You can have different layouts and content per language
  • Changes to one language don't affect others

Disabling language links

To remove language links from your menu:

  1. Go to Site settings → Menu tab
  2. Find Display languages in menu
  3. Turn the toggle off
  4. Click Save changes

Recommended formats

For 2-3 languages: Flag icon + language name (clear and friendly)

For 4+ languages: 2-letter code or flag icon (saves space)

If flags might be sensitive: Language name or code only

Testing

After enabling:

  1. Visit your live site
  2. Click each language link
  3. Make sure content displays correctly in each language
  4. Test on mobile too
