Your website in several languages

Every language has its own text, and what that means when you publish

13.1 Every language stands on its own

If your website speaks several languages, every language has its own text. Change the English headline and the Hebrew one stays as it was. That is on purpose: a translation is rarely the same length word for word, and nobody here translates automatically.

13.2 Switching

The languages of your website sit in the bar above the preview, on the left next to the title of the page, for example EN and HE. Click another language, and the preview and the fields follow.

While you edit a text, the edit panel shows the same field in your other languages under “Other languages”. A good habit: change a text in all languages one after the other, while you still remember what you wanted to say.

13.3 Publishing covers every language

Publishing always sends out the complete state. There is no “publish English only”. A half-finished text in a language you are not thinking about right now goes out with it, so walk through the languages briefly before you publish.

13.4 Website language and miraCMS language

The languages above the preview are those of your website. The language of the buttons and menus of miraCMS is set separately, under Account & security (Chapter 7.1). Someone can work in an English miraCMS on a German website.

All languages first, then publish

Saving costs nothing and can be done as often as you like. Publish at the end, once, when every language is right.
