While Podia's default site language is English, you have the freedom to switch to one of our supported languages at any time.

Introduction

Changing languages on Podia is easy. You don't need to translate everything yourself - we handle it for you.

Changing your site's default language will have all the your customer-facing areas of your site and emails translated, including site buttons and checkout.

Here’s an example from Antoine BM:

FAQs

What gets translated?

Does my Podia dashboard get translated?

No. Anything admin-facing, such as your Podia dashboard and system emails, won’t be translated, so you’ll continue to see and use Podia in English.

As a workaround, you can try using a browser translation extension (for example, Google Translate) to translate your Podia dashboard. Keep in mind that third-party translation tools can sometimes cause issues when using Podia.

Can I have a multi-language website?

Currently, Podia does not offer full support for multi-language websites.

However, there are some strategies you can implement to create a structure on your site that accommodates multiple languages.

You can read more about it here: Can I have a multi-language website?

Can you support my language?

If you don't find your preferred language listed, don't hesitate to reach out to us at [email protected].

We take language requests seriously and prioritize adding new languages based on the level of demand and user requests.

Can I manually translate my site?

At this time, manually translating your site is not supported.

Although you can fill your site with content in your preferred language, there are some buttons and automated emails with fixed text that correspond to your site's default language.
