Wix Stores
Translating Your Store
Make your site attractive to potential buyers around the world by offering your store in multiple languages. Wix Multilingual allows you to start by auto-translating your site (while making any necessary corrections), or by doing the translation on your own.
Before you begin:
Start by adding and setting up Wix Multilingual. You can add the Multilingual app from your editor, your site's dashboard, or from the Wix App Market.
Step 1 | Manage translations in your site's dashboard
In the dashboard, you can translate the text associated with your products, your category names and descriptions, checkout and email texts, SEO text, as well as shipping and delivery information.
Tip:
If you auto-translate your site, you should review the automated translations.
To manage your translations:
Go to Translation Manager in your site's dashboard.
Click Stores on the left.
Choose the relevant option:If you auto-translated your site: Review each of the automated translations and edit if necessary.
If you didn't use auto-translation: Translate each of the content types on the left and manually translate the content phrases one by one.
Step 2 | Translate store pages in your editor
Next, head over to your editor and translate the Product Page, Cart Page, and Thank You page. If you use the Category Page, you can translate that as well. Some text may already be automatically translated, but you can edit it if necessary.
Note:
When you add Wix Stores, the store pages come with text. This text, if left unchanged, is automatically translated. However, if you changed this default English text, you need to manually translate it.

Step 4 | Publish and test your store
Once you've finished translating your store, make sure to make the language visible to visitors. Then publish your site as usual.
We recommend previewing the checkout process in each language, before you launch your multilingual store. This lets you view what customers will see when they make a purchase.
What's next?
Continue translating the other pages in your site. We also recommend translating your automated emails into your site's languages. This allows you to speak to your audience in their language, offering a more local experience.
