Add languages and keep a single site to manage

Each section stores its text for every language, so a new language adds words to your existing pages. The layout, navigation and links stay the same across languages.
  • A single page to edit in every language
  • Clean URLs and hreflang tags for each language
  • No fee per language, on any plan

What changes when you add a language

Here is how Beste handles text, images, links, URLs, search signals and the language switcher.

Text

Each section stores its text for every language. Editing the English version leaves the German version as it is.

Images

A language can use its own images where needed and reuse the default images everywhere else. This helps with images that show prices or text.

Links

Internal links point to pages, so a link to pricing on the German page opens the German pricing page. You keep one set of links.

URLs

Every language gets its own clean URL, so search engines index each language as its own page.

Search signals

Pages linked across languages carry hreflang tags, so search engines show German readers the German page.

Language switcher

Every page has a language switcher, and each language has a URL you can share directly.

Edit every language in the same editor

Open a page, choose a language, and edit it in the editor you already use. There is nothing to export, and the other languages stay as they are while you work.
  • A single translation panel for pages, sections and posts
  • Work in one language at a time and switch from the panel
  • Text, images and links can differ by language
  • Product text and form labels are translated too
  • Add a language now and fill it in over time
  • Nothing goes live until you publish
How the editor works

Copying pages compared with translating sections

How you add a language decides how much work each update takes later.

Copying pages

Copied pages for each language

When you copy every page and translate it, you maintain a separate set of pages for each language. Every price change and every new detail has to be made in each copy.

  • Each change made once per language
  • A separate set of internal links for each copy
  • A separate navigation and sitemap for each copy

How Beste works

Translated sections on the same pages

Each section stores its text for every language, and you add each translation in the editor. There is one sitemap, one navigation and one set of links, and each shows the visitor's language.

  • A single page to edit in every language
  • Links open the page in the same language
  • More than 50 languages, with no fee for any of them
