Language sites and content linking
Updated Oct 14, 20263 min read
Available to: Site admins
Plans: All plans
Language versions are managed under Websites → Manage → Languages. A version of your site in another language is published on a subpath of the same domain (e.g. yoursite.com/en).
Tip
Each language site is a separate site with its own stories, team and subscription. Stories aren’t translated automatically; you publish separately in each language.
Adding a language site
- In the Language Sites box, click + Add new language.
- 1. Language: Choose the language, enter the Path (e.g. /en) and the Site name.
- 2. Design: Choose the language site’s starter design.
- 3. Plan: Choose a plan for the language site and complete the payment.
Added language sites appear in the list with their path, address and language. Detach separates a language site from the main site.
Content linking
Link a story to its counterpart in the other language: mutual hreflang tags are written on both pages and the site’s language switcher takes readers straight to that story in the other language.
- Search for and select the story under Story on this site.
- Choose the language site under Counterpart site, then search for and select the story there.
- Click Link.
Right-to-left languages
For right-to-left languages such as Arabic, the language site’s design adapts automatically.
