Translating your home page

Your home page can be written once and read in every language your site publishes. One button does the whole page, and it only charges for the words that are actually new.

The rule

A missing translation is never a blank page — visitors just see your main language. An out of date one is the problem: they’re reading a confident translation of words you’ve since changed.

How it works

  1. Open Homepage under Settings and scroll to Your page in other languages.
  2. Tap a language chip to include or exclude it. The number on each chip is how many sections it would write.
  3. The button names the price before you tap it — for example Translate this page — about 4 credits.
  4. Tap it. Every section, in every language you picked, gets filled in.

You’re charged for what actually runs, which is usually less than the quote. Anything already translated and unchanged costs nothing, so running it twice in a row is almost free.

Change an English line later and that section is marked Out of date in the languages it affects — with the section named, so you know exactly what a visitor is reading. Tap the button again and only that section is redone.

Good to know

  • Only the sections you’ve written words into are counted. An empty sub-heading isn’t translated or charged for.
  • Sections you’ve hidden are translated too, so a language is ready before you make the section visible.
  • If you edit a translation by hand, that doesn’t mark it out of date — only changes to your main language do.
  • Automatic translation needs to be part of your plan. Without it the button explains that instead of charging you.
  • You can also just ask Dani: “put my home page into Thai.”
