How to Create a Multilingual Website in Wix (Step-by-Step Guide)

If you’ve ever wondered how to take your website global, you’re in the right place. At Wix Ideas, we specialize in helping businesses and creators get the most out of Wix and Wix Studio. And today, we’re diving deep into one of the most powerful features Wix offers: Wix Multilingual.

Whether you’re building your first site or managing an established brand, making your website available in multiple languages is a game-changer. It allows you to reach more people, create better user experiences, and expand your business beyond borders.

Why Wix Multilingual Matters

The internet isn’t limited to one language — and neither should your website be. With Wix Multilingual, you can translate your site into different languages without rebuilding it from scratch. That means your visitors can switch between languages seamlessly, making your site feel more professional and welcoming.

At Wix Ideas, we’ve seen firsthand how adding multilingual functionality improves engagement and increases conversions for businesses of all sizes.

Wix vs. Wix Studio: Which One Should You Use?

Both Wix and Wix Studio allow you to create multilingual websites, but the experience differs slightly.

• Wix is beginner-friendly and perfect for small businesses, freelancers, and creatives who want a quick setup.

• Wix Studio gives more design freedom, flexibility, and advanced tools for agencies and professionals who want complete control.

At Wix Ideas, we use both platforms depending on our clients’ needs. The good news? Wix Multilingual works beautifully in both.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Wix Multilingual

Here’s a quick walkthrough to help you set up multiple languages on your website:

1. Enable MultilingualGo to your Wix Dashboard, search for “Multilingual,” and enable the feature.
