Here’s an overview of the steps to take to create a multilingual site.

  1. Set the default language for your site. It’s important to set the default language before you add translated content to your site.
  2. Add languages to the site.
  3. Set options for each language, such as the display label and fallback language.
  4. Export and prepare the content, and send it for translation. Alternatively, you can translate content directly on the page in Experience Builder.
  5. Import the translated content.
  6. Add a Language Selector component to your site pages, so unauthenticated users can choose their preferred language.
    Tip
    Tip Consider offering users a way to get instant translations of feed items. (Feed items include posts, questions, polls, and their comments, answers, and replies.) For more information, see Add a Translate Button to Feed Items in Experience Builder Sites.
