To translate your content click on Translation
in the navigation menu:
To get started, please choose your default language. This will be the language you use for writing content in the editor.
Note that in the published version, the default language is the fallback for any block that hasn't been translated.
⚠️
Important: Nothing will block you to select English
as your language and write your content in French
, for example. Please ensure that you write in the selected language accordingly.

- Translation field - Here, you have to write the translation of the selected block. If your original block had an inline style, it will not be automatically applied. Make sure to put the correct translation of the block. We do not check the relevance of your input .
- Actions:
- Auto-translate: Translate the block in the selected language.
- Mark as complete: This option allows you to finish the translation of the block. It will have a green bullet point next to it. If you change anything in the default block in the future, the bullet point will turn orange.
- Mark as complete and go to next: Same as above and move to the next block. If this is the end of the page, it will automatically go to the next one.

Auto translate the current page and automatically mark as complete translated blocks. This is the automation for the translation.

⚠️
If for any reason when you translate a block and by coming back to it the content of the translation has been erased, simply refresh your page and it should be restored.
This option make sure that the lang parameter is always visible in your published project url.
Your default language is important as it defines the language you will create your content in the editor, and it will also be used as the fallback language for any untranslated blocks.
Note that depending on the language chosen, it can change the user experience slightly. For example, some languages have a right-to-left set up in the editor, which may affect the layout and formatting of the content.
Adding a language to the language list selector only makes it available for selection, but you still need to go to the translation tab and manually translate your content. And if a language is not yet fully translated, you can choose to remove it from the language list until it's complete.
