MultiLipi allows you to manage the languages your website is translated into with just a few clicks. Whether you're expanding to new markets or cleaning up unused translations, this guide will walk you through the process of adding and removing a complete language from your MultiLipi project.

Why This Matters

Each language you add helps you reach a wider audience and improve SEO visibility in local markets. Removing unnecessary languages can help you stay organized and optimize your translation quota.

Adding a New Language

To translate your website into an additional language:

Step 1: Open the Languages Panel

From your dashboard, click on “Languages” under the “Translations” menu on the left panel.MultiLipi dashboard with "Languages" tab selected under Translations

Step 4: Confirm and Add

Click the “Add language” button in the modal. The selected language will be instantly added to your active translation list and will begin translating content automatically.

Removing an Existing Language

If you want to stop serving a particular language version of your site:

Step 1: Go Back to “Languages” Panel

Navigate again to Languages under the Translations section.

Step 2: Locate the Language You Want to Remove

In the list of language pairs, find the row corresponding to the target language you want to delete.

 

Step 3: Click the Trash Icon

Under the Actions column, click the red trash/delete icon next to the corresponding language pair.

Step 4: Confirm Deletion

You’ll be prompted to confirm. Once confirmed, MultiLipi will stop translating and serving content in that language. All associated translations will no longer be available to site visitors.

 

What Happens After Adding or Removing a Language?

  • Added languages will begin automatic translation and indexing based on your existing settings (e.g., subdirectory or subdomain).
  • Removed languages will immediately stop rendering, and links pointing to that language will return a 404 unless redirected.
     

 Pro Tip

Want to add localized fonts for RTL languages like Arabic or Hebrew? You can do that under the “Font Family” column after the language is added.
