Languages
Serve buyers in every language you sell to — one dealership site, many locales.
What it does
Languages controls which languages your dealership site is published in. Every enabled language gets:
- Its own URL prefix —
/en/cars,/ar/cars,/fr/cars - Its own tab in the content editor so you can translate pages one at a time
- Automatic hints to Google so buyers land on the right version
- Correct text direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) and matching fonts
Enable a language
Default language
The Default language is what buyers see when they visit /cars with no language in the URL. It's also what shows up whenever a page hasn't been translated to the language they want yet.
/cars are sent to /{default}/cars. If their browser prefers a language you have enabled, they land on that one instead — so an Arabic-first browser goes straight to /ar.Per-language content
Once a language is enabled, every page in Admin → Content shows a language tab at the top of the editor:
Pages you haven't translated yet fall back to your default language so buyers still see something. The content list shows a coverage badge (3 / 4 languages) per page so you can see what's missing.
Direction, fonts and layout
Every language is tagged as left-to-right or right-to-left. When a buyer visits a right-to-left page:
- The whole page flips direction
- Fonts switch to the right stack (Noto Sans Arabic for Arabic, etc.)
- The layout mirrors correctly
- Direction-aware icons (like back arrows) flip
You don't have to build a separate right-to-left version — the same content is shown mirrored automatically.
Search engine benefits
Adding more languages doesn't just help more buyers — it multiplies your visibility in search:
- Each page tells Google every language it's available in
- Every language version of every page is listed in your sitemap
- Structured data (Vehicle, Article, FAQ) is published in the right language
- Your site tells AI answer engines which languages you cover
Who can edit this
Requires languages:read to view the picker and languages:update to turn languages on or off. Administrators have both by default; sales roles usually don't.
