Make a multilingual blog
How to add languages to your blog and create translations of a post that are linked to each other. Linked posts are reported to search engines as different language versions of the same post.
In a Weekerp blog, you write posts separately for each language and can link translations of the same post together. Linked translations are reported to search engines as different language versions of the same post, so each country sees the post in the right language in search results.
1. Add a language
- Open Blog > Blog settings > More languages.
- Choose a language in + Add a language. 14 languages are available (Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Russian, Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Hindi, Arabic).
- Click Save.
Change the default language in Language and time. The default language can't be removed.
2. What to fill in for each language
Fill these in separately for each language you add. For a language left empty, the default language's value is shown instead, or that spot doesn't appear.
- Blog settings: name and summary, top menu, Header · Footer · Popup CTA
- Category names per language
- Author names and bios per language
3. Create a translation
- In Blog > Posts, choose a language tab other than the default language.
- Click New post.
- In Which post are you translating?, choose the original post and click Create translation.
An empty post with the same address as the original is created and linked as a translation. The body is not copied. Enter the translated content yourself.
New post in the sidebar always creates a post in the default language. Create translations from the language tabs in the post list.
4. Link posts you've already written
In Translations on the right of the editor, choose the post to link for each language. If you choose a post already linked to another post, it's removed from that link.
While posts are drafts, posts with the same address are linked automatically. After publishing, you can link them only in this field.
Removing a language
Removing a language in More languages doesn't delete posts written in that language. They're only hidden from visitors, and they come back as they were when you add the language again.
