Add a language

Your site can speak more than one language. Add the ones your community reads, and translate each section as you go.

Turn a language on​

  1. Go to Your Website → Languages.
  2. Check the language you want. It's on straight away.

That's it. Visitors now see a language switcher on your site, and every section in your page editor gets a tab for the new language.

The one thing to decide first​

Above the list is the language you write in — your main language.

This is the language you type your website in. Anything you haven't translated yet shows up in this language, so nothing on your site ever goes blank.

Set it before you add a second language. Once another language is live we lock it, because changing it would relabel everything you've already written — your Thai would suddenly be filed as English. If you need it changed after that, message us and we'll sort it out with you.

Translate your pages​

Open any page and choose a section. If your space has more than one language, you'll see a tab for each one at the top of the section's settings.

Pick the language, and you'll get a box for every piece of text in that section, with your original shown above it so you can see what you're translating.

You can also translate:

  • A page's title and search description — Pages → the page → SEO.
  • Your menu labels — so your navigation reads in the visitor's language too.
  • Your booking types — Bookings → What You Offer → the booking type. Their name and description are the biggest thing a visitor reads before booking.

Leave anything blank and it still works​

This is the part worth knowing: a blank translation is not an empty page.

If you translate a section's heading but not its body, visitors see the Thai heading and the English body. Nothing disappears. That means you can turn a language on today and translate a bit at a time, without ever publishing a half-empty page.

The same rule applies everywhere — pages, menus, booking types.

How visitors change language​

A switcher appears on your site once you publish a second language. Their choice is remembered, so they only pick once.

You can also share a link that opens straight in one language by adding ?lang= and the language code — for example https://yourspace.tatiya.space/?lang=th. Handy for a poster QR code or a post aimed at one part of your community.

Search engines are told about each language automatically, so both versions can be found.

Turning a language off​

Uncheck it. Everything you've written in that language is kept safe — visitors just won't see the option until you turn it back on.

What isn't translated yet​

Some things still show in English whatever language a visitor picks:

  • Buttons and labels that are part of Tatiya rather than your own writing — including the booking and checkout screens.
  • Dates and times.
  • Confirmation emails.

We're working through these. Your own writing — your pages, sections, booking types and menus — is what you control today.
