Our Premium Website Available In Different Languages

Hi everyone,

I think it's not possible, but it would be really awesome if we can select different languages on our Artist Premium Website !

For example, i have many potential clients in France, and seeing my website in English only (and searching for english keywords only) is really something that repels them, something disgusting them to buy or just to explore the website.

Is there any solution please ?

Same for Pixels/FAA website, is there a way to redirect them to a french version ? Other languages ?
Thanks.
GREG

I send many people to Google to get their translated page which they then link to on their own sites using a bit.ly url

https://translate.google.com

Put in your web address and translate to French

So mine is https://isabella-shores.pixels.com
translated to French gives the same link but click and you will see the page open in french

https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=fr&u=https%3A%2F%2Fisabella-shores.pixels.com

Now go to https://bit.ly register or log in

CREATE (top right)

Paste in the long address

You will see something like bit.ly/2VqTTtk

Now add a title so you can easily find it again
Customise the new short link by removing the end ( 2VqTTtk ) and add your own end.

I added isabellashores to mine

http://bit.ly/isabellashores --- click to see my site in French

Not perfect but it works well and the people I have shared this with (Spanish, Romanian, etc) have found it invaluable for their local visitors

Thanks Abbie, it works for some words but definitively not professional at all !
I mean, which client want to browse and buy something on a print on demand website available on google translate to see it in his language. Not many i guess.
In addition, links and menus are not correctly displayed, CSS is not kepts, same for some special fonts we have on AW. It doesn't work well.

But thanks for the tip.

if you redirect an external domain on the site you can insert the goggle translator button directly ... obviously the translation will not be perfect but understandable :)
go to the bottom of my page for an example:

Grandprixroma.com

Waw Stefano, your website is well customized in CSS etc ! not sure how you did it but congrats !
I like the small social media icons linking to your account for example

They seem to make sales happily, but horses for courses

I am convinced that if Pixels/FAA/AW websites are available in different languages, there would be much more traffic, clients and sales !
And for me who have a mainly French content (just not USA or UK), I think it would be a considerable sales increase

It would not be a titanic job since it would be enough to translate the few words contained in the menus, and buttons etc... Keywords and titles remaining in English only.

Since FAA/Pixels is saying they are shipping "all over the world", Is there any plan in a reasonable future to have other languages than English on FAA/Pixels and AW ?

It would be awesome, and boost sales a lot, also good for SEO

That's great Abbie thank you, I never realised you could do that.

Gill, you are very welcome :--)

Abbie's solution is a trick but not working well at all since all links are wrongly displayed and some are even hidden due to translation. Try it you'll see.
This is why i asked my question above.
