Languages

The languages your site publishes in, which one is the main one, and the order readers see them in.

Plans include 1, 2 or 3 languages (Starter, Growth, Pro). The meter at the top shows how many you're using.

Add a language#

Open Languages. Under Add a language, press Add next to the one you want — English, Hindi, Urdu, Marathi, Bengali, Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Kannada, Punjabi or Malayalam.
It appears under On your site marked New · save to add.
Press Save.

Then write in it: stories, categories, tagline, about text. Each language has its own address — /hi, /ur — and its own menu, ticker and feeds. Urdu pages read right to left.

Order#

Drag the languages under On your site, or use the arrows: the language menu on your site follows this order.

The main language#

The main language opens at your site's root address; the others sit under their code. To change it, use Change main language or a language's menu → Make main language, then Save.

Changing the main language moves addresses: the new main language moves to / and the old one to its own code, so links people shared to the old language's stories stop working. Decide this before you publish much.

Turning a language off#

Turn off hides that language's stories from readers and breaks their links. Nothing is deleted: turn it back on and they return.
The main language, and the last language, can't be turned off.
