With the internet reaching worldwide, you may have customers from different countries who speak many languages!
Right now, we don't have official support for multiple languages, but we can show you some ways to make your Podia site work in more than one language.
Before we start...
The methods we suggest let you create pages in different languages, so your visitors and customers can read in their preferred language.
However, some areas/aspects of your site structure will not be translated.
These include:
Customer-facing interface
Login button
Transactional/automated emails
Automated buttons
These cannot support multiple languages and will show in the chosen language of your site.
Creating a multi-language site
There are a couple of ways to create a multi-language website on Podia.
Using a third-party widget
GTranslate
GTranslate adds a translation box to the top of your site's pages.
You can choose the languages you want to offer, and visitors can select one when they visit your site.
Visit Gtranslate's website, set things up by selecting the languages you want visitors to have access to and any additional settings.
Once you're done, simply install the third-party code on Podia.
Using product categories
Within your products, you can apply categories such as "English Offerings" or "Spanish Offerings" which will create a page for each category.
This will make it easy for you to route customers to their chosen products:
Using custom pages for each language
Create two main custom pages to house the different languages you want to create, e.g. a Spanish site and and English site.
Create the custom pages for each language and publish your site.
βAdd a Grid page section to your homepage and link to these 2 different options so visitors can pick the one they want.
