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

  1. In the Language Sites box, click + Add new language.
  2. 1. Language: Choose the language, enter the Path (e.g. /en) and the Site name.
  3. 2. Design: Choose the language site’s starter design.
  4. 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.

  1. Search for and select the story under Story on this site.
  2. Choose the language site under Counterpart site, then search for and select the story there.
  3. Click Link.

Right-to-left languages

For right-to-left languages such as Arabic, the language site’s design adapts automatically.
