PRO TIP: While it is possible to create a multi-lingual website using Wix, it is important to be aware that not all features and applications are available in all languages. Additionally, some features may work differently in different languages. Therefore, it is important to test your site thoroughly in each language before making it public.


<!-- Start of Google Translate Code -->
<div id="google_translate_element"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
function googleTranslateElementInit() {new google.translate.TranslateElement({pageLanguage: 'en', layout: google.TranslateElement.InlineLayout.SIMPLE}, 'google_translate_element');}
</script>
<!-- End of Google Translate Code -->

Once you’ve added the code snippet, go to your site’s dashboard and click on the ‘Settings’ tab. From there, select the ‘Language’ tab and choose your desired language.

Conclusion:

You can have 2 languages on Wix using either the built in language translation tool or a third party tool like Google Translate.
