How to change Site language in Squarespace
If you’re running a website on Squarespace and want to make it more accessible to an international audience, knowing how to change your site language is essential. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of changing the site language in Squarespace, ensuring your content is presented in the language that best suits your audience.
Step 1: Log into Your Squarespace Account
The first step in changing your site language is to log into your Squarespace account. Once you’re logged in, you’ll be directed to your Account Dashboard.
Step 2: Access the Website Settings
From the Account Dashboard, find and click on the website button associated with the site you want to modify. This will take you to a page where you can access various settings for your website.
Step 3: Navigate to Site Languages
On the left side of the page, you’ll see a menu. Scroll down to the bottom and click on the “Settings” icon. From here, select “Site Languages.” This is where you can see the current language setting for your site.
Step 4: Select Your Desired Language
In the “Site Languages” section, you’ll see the current language of your site, which is set to English by default. To change it, simply click on the language option and select your desired language from the list. For this example, let’s choose French.
Step 5: Save Your Changes
After selecting your new language, you’ll notice that the date and time format changes according to the language you’ve selected. To finalize the changes, click on the “Save” button.
Step 6: Verify the Language Change
To ensure that your site language has been updated, you can copy your website link and open it in an incognito mode in Google Chrome. This will show you how your site appears to visitors. While most of the built-in text on your site will now be in the new language, some parts may still need manual translation.
