excuse me manage or multilingual experience here in Wix now previously you guys have watched my old videos it was a little bit more complicated so let’s dive into how to do this number one you obviously have to have an online store added to your website likely if you’re watching this video you’ve already taken that step if you haven’t you can go watch one of my videos on how to add a multi-link or excuse me how to add an online store to your
website once you’ve got the store here’s how you make it multilingual once you’re in the editor you’re gonna hover over settings you’re gonna scroll down to multilingual you’re gonna click it and then you’re gonna press get started once you’ve done that you’re gonna pick the main language of your website obviously if you’re from the United States like me it’s probably English so I’m gonna press English then you’re going to add the next language
maybe you’re only gonna have one additional language if you have multiple that’s totally fine you have the ability to have as many languages as you want but for the sake of this let’s just say our next language is Spanish then we’ll click that and then you choose the flag you want displayed so maybe you’re looking to target specifically Spain so I’ll type in whoops I’ll scroll excuse me to Spain on here and you want the Spain flag to show for the
Spanish version of the site you would then click Next and then you press start now and you can start translating your site so what you have to do is you’ve got this nifty tool up here this is the way to switch between your English version of your website and in this case the Spanish version of your website or whatever other language you decide to choose if you switch over to Spanish any changes that are made on your Spanish version of the website
will only be reflected upon the Spanish version of the website what I mean by that is we’ve seen this little tool right here this is our language menu so this will be displayed in the header of your website when people press preview or go to your site they’ll be able to toggle between your English and Spanish versions okay so whatever changes you make in the Spanish editor Spanish editor it’s the same editor but the Spanish version of your site
will be reflective upon the Spanish version of your live site whatever is made in the English version will be reflected upon in the English version of your website but now let’s talk about how to make the store multilingual so if you go up here and you press manage languages it’s gonna open our multilingual dashboard okay so once it loads up I’m gonna show you how we go about this it’s quite cool actually so you’ll see once we get in here and
it’s searching right now for translatable content it’s searching to pull in the information from which stores just like that so now that we’ve got it here you see your two languages at the top here you’ve got your English in the online store is already in English because that’s the primary language of your site or whatever the primary language is of your website that’s what the primary store will be but then you’ve got your secondary version so
number one you can see you can add languages whenever you want but down below this you’ll see right here translate your content so yes you do have to manually translate the content to make this happen but Wix has created a much newer way to go about this so you’ll see here which stores so it obviously pulled and said that okay there’s obviously a online store here and the content in this would need to be translated to translate it you can first
go to your products and press translate once you do that it’s gonna go ahead it’s gonna load it’s taking its jolly time to load right now because I’ve got a lot of stuff running on my computer okay so now once it opens you’ll see all of your products in here they’ll all be listed right here on your multilingual dashboard what you have to do is you have to go in and translate the product so you’ll click translate and then once this opens up I’ll
show you in just a second you’ll see all of your product information here and you’ll see you can actually translate faster with Google Translate so now you can automatically translate the content on your site just click the Google Translate icon so just to let you guys know this is pretty cool this is a brand new thing I didn’t even know this existed until this video so now you just caught me discovering a new Wix feature this is literally brand
new if you press get started all you got to do is press Google Translate and it translated it to Spanish for you and that’s all you have to do up and down through your products here and you press that checkmark to show that it’s updated updated and what you’ll do is you’ll literally go through and do this for each one just so you guys are aware the fact that they added that Google trend like is absolutely phenomenal as of like last week when I
checked this that was not there so instead of having to manually go ahead and translate each of these they added Google Translate which means it just expedited your process what could have taken multiple hours upon hours can literally take maybe an hour now to go through and translate your site and what you’ll do is you’ll literally go through and now this press Google Translate down each and every one of these on each product and you’ll press
next okay when you press next I’ll show you what will happen here it’ll pull up your next product okay so it’ll pull up your next product and you’ll literally go through and do this to each of your products once you do that I’m gonna go back to the multilingual dashboard here give it a second to load up once you do that it’s gonna pull in some of your content okay and then you can actually go through and you can translate each part of your store
so the products is one area you can translate you’ve also got product options collections delivery options all of these need to be translated as well I know that can become a lot but you’ve got a way to go about doing it now and now with the Google Translate automatically translating it it’s expedited the process even more so they’re not quite at a complete automatic translation process yet but they’re getting close which is awesome so you can go
through and actually translate each of these sections of your store so that way you get a complete translation over once that is complete by the way your normal Wix pages such as your shop your excuse me your cart your checkout pages those are automatically translated by Wix because you don’t have the power to change those pages at the moment so which automatically translate those for you so there’s no need to worry there so on your Spanish
version those will be translated for you so once you’ve got these all translated what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna go ahead and uncheck this hidden and you’re gonna make it visible and it’s gonna make your site live so now when someone goes to your ecommerce store and they go in and if we exit out of multi-lingual here and they flip between English and Spanish now that you’ve made it live they’ll be able to see both in English version of the
store and a Spanish version in the store whoops I hit the mic there depending on which one they’re toggled between the same thing goes for your entire website so you’ve got two versions of your website you’ve got your English and your Spanish version so obviously all of this right here your header information all that can be changed as well but that’s got to be translated by you at the moment just like with the store and it’s that easy to do guys
I know it’s a lot of work in the actual translation product by product and store option by store option I get that but imagine now having to spend a little bit more time but nowhere near as much time as you would have previously had to spend and now it’s actually achievable in Wix to create a multilingual experience all the way through including your store which is awesome so if this video helped you guys out make sure you drop a like down below
