Some text displayed on your website in buttons and features is automatically generated. This text can easily be changed to another language. We currently offer that default text in English, French, Spanish, and German.
How to change the ‘Site language’ option:
- Click the gear icon in the top right corner of your control panel to open Site Settings, then choose Time & language.
- Choose English (US), English (Canada), English (UK), French, German, Spanish (Europe) or Spanish (Latin America) from the Site language dropdown menu.
- Click Save.
Content language (advanced) sets the lang attribute on your pages so browsers and screen readers know what language your content is written in. Leave it as 'Same as site language' unless you need something different. Editor language changes the language of your site manager and editing tools.
Note: The 'Site language' option affects all the site buttons, confirmation messages, and receipts issued for purchases. It does not translate the page titles, text features, or other content added to your website. For more help with making your website bilingual, check out our blog post on translation.
