With that said let's go ahead and jump right in.
First off, if you don't have a Wix account yet, just click on the link in the description
box below to create one for free.
In your Wix editor, click on 'add apps' from the left-hand side panel, and then use the
search bar to search for 'wix multilingual'.
Once that option populates, click on it, and then on the blue '+ add' to site button up
top.
A popup will appear helping you navigate how to create your multilingual site.
Wix multilingual will help you manually translate your site into the languages you want, increase
your reach by speaking to a wider audience, and keep the same design in all your languages.
Click on 'get started' to begin.
Select the current language of your site and a flag to represent it, and then click on
'next'.
Select the second language you want to add to your site, such as Portuguese, and a flag
to represent it.
Let's select the Brazilian flag, and then click on 'next'.
Now start translating your site into Portuguese by clicking on a text box or a button to manually
translate your text.
Just note that design changes, like editing the layout, will affect all languages, so
in our case, the layout in our websites in both English and Portuguese.
For instance, to translate this about section, just click on it, and then from its individual
toolbar, either click on 'edit translation' to translate the text manually, or click on
'translate with Google' to have Google do the work for you instead.
Another thing we can do in our multilingual website is edit the language menu.
To do so, click on it, and then on 'manage menu' to reorder the languages, manage languages
and add another language.
When you click on 'manage languages', you'll access this multilingual dashboard where you
can also add another language, toggle whether your additional languages or visible or hidden,
change locales, change flag and change main language, as well as select whether you want
to automatically show your site to visitors in their browser language or not.
Under navigate, you can view and edit your website in the different languages you added.
Under layouts, you can switch the menu type from dropdown to horizontal, toggle whether
you want to show flags or not, choose how the languages are displayed, and how the menu
items are aligned.
Under design, you can choose what your language menu will look like from one of the predefined
language menu designs, or click on 'customize design' to edit the menu's fill color and
opacity, border, corners, shadow, and text even further.
Under animation, you can choose to add an animation to your language menu from the available
options, and click on 'customize' to edit the animation settings even further.
Once you're done translating your website to a different language, remember to reposition
the language menu to make it easily accessible by drag-and-dropping it to the location of
your choice, and then click on the blue 'publish' button on the top right to make your changes
active.
Now you know how to create a multilingual website in Wix so that your Wix website has
