Translate entire website

With the bulk action 'Translate website', you can translate an entire website at once. This process takes place in two phases: preparation and execution. During the preparation phase, all translations are done using AI. The translations of meta titles and meta descriptions can be viewed per page. You cannot preview the translations of the pages themselves. Therefore, it is recommended to make a backup of the site before translating so that you can easily restore it if things are not to your liking. You can make backups in the website overview under the 'Backup' tab.

Step 1: Within your website, click on the icon with the three dots and then on 'Translate website'.


Step 2: A pop-in will now appear where you can start the translation process.


Step 3: After preparation, you can execute or reject the translation.

 
Translate specific content

Through the AI assistant, you can translate existing texts, titles, meta titles, and meta descriptions.

Step 1: Click on the 'AI assistant' icon at the element you want to translate.

Step 2: A pop-in will now appear where you can start the translation process and insert it after it has been executed.

*To use the AI translation features, the 'Multilingual AI' package worth €49 per month is required, contact us for more information.

Websites are evaluated, among other factors, based on speed; the faster the website, the better!

Images play a significant role in this, especially when a page contains a large number of images, which can slow down the page.

Traditional file formats such as jpg, png, bmp, and tiff are now considered outdated, with modern alternatives like WebP and SVG offering better performance.

Depending on the content of the image, a choice can be made between WebP or SVG formats.

• For example, if it's a photo, you would opt for WebP.
• Graphic elements such as logos or icons are best saved as SVG.

By consciously choosing file formats, the website will perform better without compromising on quality!

Save New Images as WebP:

Saving images in WebP format can be done in various ways, depending on the image editing software being used.

Adobe Photoshop:

1. Open the image in Photoshop.
2. Click on "File" in the top-left menu
3. Then click on "Save As."
   • If asked whether to save the image locally or not, choose to save it locally.
4. Under "File Name," select the file format, click on it, and choose WebP.
5. Save the image using the default settings.

GIMP:

1. Open the image in GIMP
2. Go to the "File" menu and select "Export As."
3. In the export window, under "Select File Type" choose "WebP Image" from the list of formats
4. Maintain the default settings and export the image

Converting Existing Images:

There are numerous online services available; here, we'll use AnyWebP:

1. Open the provided link and drag the existing images into the indicated box or click on 'Select Images' button and select the images you would like to convert
