Product Description
The Multilingualizer is the easiest to use multi-language addition to your website. It works on WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, Magento, Drupal and other sites which allow Javascript uploads.
Looking for support?
We have full support for the Multilingualizer including guides on installing on various platforms, customizing the appearance and more.
Multilingualizer SupportEasy to Use
You use your current website editor to enter the language variations – that means you don’t have to learn a new interface. Full installation instructions are included on this page and in the download you purchase, and more configuration options and guides are being added weekly.
Once it’s installed, you never need to touch the code again – just enter your translations right next to your existing text on your site.
Unlimited Languages
You can have as many languages as you wish. One-time installation is a very simple process of copying and pasting some code to the right area on your site. From then on, every page on your site is Multilingualizer-enabled and your ‘Language selector’ will be added to every page.
The Multilingualizer chooses the language from the users default language set in their browser, but also presents the user with a ‘language selector’ so they can change language if they wish. You can disable auto-language selection, so you can choose which language you wish to enable by default.
The Multilingualizer also now works with all right-to-left languages such as Hebrew etc.
What happens if you don’t have translations yet?
The Multilingualizer gives you the capability to have multilingual content. If pages on your site do not have the text-pattern that the Multilingualizer looks for, your pages will be left entirely as they are. If you add a 3rd or 4th language, and your users choose the 3rd or 4th languages, the Multilingualizer will revert to the default (the first language) on your page if no translation exists for the users chosen language yet.
It makes it super easy to add extra translations as and when you get them without having to translate your entire site in one go – you can add translations page by page and the Multilingualizer will pull translations for the user when they’re available or revert to the original/default language of the website when they’re not.
Great for SEO
Because all versions of text are on the page, Google sees all versions of your text making your content much more likely to be found. Google will pull back a relevant snippet for the user in the correct language if they search using that language. Other systems that insert translations from their own servers rather than remove text from your existing page at display time make it impossible for Google to see your translations.
Great for social media
If you use a more complicated multilanguage system that involves creating additional pages – none of those new pages will have any Facebook likes or Tweets for your social media counters. With the multilingualizer, all languages share the same page on social media so social sharing is amplified, and with Google now taking social shares into account, this boosts your SERPS too!
You don’t need to change your theme, template or platform
It works with all Squarespace templates, all Shopify themes, all WordPress themes and all sites that allow you to upload Javascript/HTML.
No need to create extra pages or change navigation
You just add all translations to your existing page and the Multilingualizer removes the ones it doesn’t need when the user views the page. So you don’t need to create extra pages or change navigation.
Branding Possible
The Multilingualizer displays a brief splash screen for up to 0.5s while it removes the text the user doesn’t need to see. You can brand this splash screen how you wish or just leave it white (then it looks like normal part of website loading).
The Multilingualizer puts YOU in control
The Multilingualizer doesn’t do automatic machine-translation. It adds multilingual capability to your website, allowing you to write the translations.
Customization Options
There are many customization options listed on the Multilingualizer support page including adding the language selector to your menus, or using flags instead of text. You can also customise the brief loading screen (up to 0.5s second flash screen while Multilingualizer works its magic) which is a great chance to build your brand.
No License Fee
Unlike our competition, we don’t charge an ongoing monthly fee – you own your translations. We charge according to how many sites you wish to use – no extra charge for extra traffic or languages.
Better pricing than our competition too!
There is an alternative system to the Multilingualizer called Localize.js. With Localize js, they charge you monthly and based on traffic volume. To hit level 2 of their traffic pricing, you only need to get about 670 page views to your site per day which is about 200 unique visitors per day. Then – with Localizejs.com you’re paying $588 per year for your multilingual ability, whereas with the Multilingualizer you pay way less than that for a one-off payment. If you’re on the lowest plan with Localizejs, you still have to pay $240 every single year. Our solution works way better too and is easier to use!
With us, your translations sit directly on your page so YOU get all the SEO benefit.
But will it definitely work with your theme, template or website?
The Multilingualizer is dealing with text, not layout or styling – so it works with every theme, every template and every website so long as you can upload Javascript. That includes WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Magento, Drupal, all custom-websites and every single platform where it’s possible to upload Javascript files or copy and paste Javascript to your site.
If you have any more questions, check out the reviews tab above and the Q & A tab to see comments from other users successfully adding multil-language capabilities to their website really easily with the Multilingualizer.
Fully Supported
Multilingualizer is fully supported – before you raise a support request, please read through the rest of the Q & A’s that have been asked already as someone has probably already asked the question you have.
You’ll find the Q & A tab at the top of this page. We are working on an improved support mechanism which will be released shortly to make it easier to search and browse previous questions and answers.
Remember why Multilingualizer is the best solution
We don’t charge for additional languages and you own all your translations.
All the translations exist directly on your pages (not on someone else’s server) – so Google sees them – that’s good for your SEO.
It works directly in your existing theme or template – no need to redo all that hard work, no need to create extra pages (it also means you get to keep the social media counters you’ve already generated across all languages)!
Easy to install, easy to use.

Awesome and easy to implement,
It’s a must with any squarespace website !
Dave has been very quick and professional in customising the code to our needs.
(active soon) using it on this website : http://www.pascalmorabito.com
And will certainly use it with other projects
Most likely http://www.pascalmorabitoart.com as well

This script was the solution I had been looking for to turn my squarespace website into a bilingual website. It has saved me hours of development or code testing on my website. It’s really easy to use (it only takes a few minutes to turn your website into a bilingual website) and support from Dave was great. Result can be seen on http://www.lepetitmontessori.com

Best script as i didn’t had time to work me into squarespace code. Dave offered a fantastic support. Thanx again dave!!!
Sean Allen –
This is definitely the easiest solution to implement for a bilingual Squarespace site. Well worth the money!

The javascript could be downloaded soon as PayPal cleared the transaction. Incorporating it into SquareSpace was much too simple. And my one and only question (how to change the location of the language-selector links within a webpage) got an immediate and useful reply before my morning cup of coffee had even finished brewing. Brilliant!

I have purchased the javascript two days ago.
£56.40 were charged on my Visa – via Paypal.
And… nothing.
No emails. No download available. No replies to my emails or contact form messages.
It seemed an easy and simple deal. But no, it isn’t.
I can’t seem to find the “fully supported” product I apparently bought…
And I would definitely appreciate a quick reply.
[Reply from Dave:] Sorry Patricia – our mail server was down for a few days which prevented you receiving the Multilingualizer and also me receiving alerts to your comments – I’m really sorry – I’ve manually sent you the code now and fixed the mail server – hopefully you can amend your review now you’ve got the product?
Dave Hilditch (verified owner) –
Hi – sorry about this – mail server was down – I’ve manually sent you the Multilingualizer
alex lamikiz (verified owner) –
Awesome
patricia –
No worries. Thanks. Working perfectly.
Marie Lespine (verified owner) –
I was looking to translate a Squarespace site and Dave’s Multilingualizer worked perfectly.
On top of that he was super reactive whenever I had question. I highly recommend his module.
Rebecca (verified owner) –
Excellent and fast service! I am using this solution for two sites, one shopify and one squarespace. Easy to implement – great alternative to changing providers in order to make my sites bilingual.
Ben –
Awesome, thanks a lot 🙂
Carlos Orbe –
We bought the script a while ago and worked almost perfect, and what did not work Dave has arranged, leaving our website 100% bilingual. Not as fast as you would have liked, but very good overall.
Marie Lespine (verified owner) –
I have already commented here and I’m not trying to spam or whatever.
But if you are looking for a multilingual solution for Squarespace, like I was, choose Dave’s Multilingualizer !
Not only is his solution super easy to implement (and to explain to your final client if you’re designing for someone), but he is amazingly reactive if you’re encountering bugs.
He has put in amazing efforts and reactivity on fixing bugs for the solution he has to offer.
JASON (verified owner) –
I can’t say enough about how satisfied I have been with my Multilingualizer investment here. In addition to the normal translation functions, because my [Squarespace-platformed] site is broadcast in China, a whole new set of challenges regarding language and national firewall constraints had to be overcome. Dave did an amazing job with an extremely reasonable response time. I was looking at other options for enabling translation on my site, and I’m so glad I chose Multilingualizer. It’s been a purchase I would undoubtedly recommend to anyone looking for a cleanly integrated multi-language solution.
Georg (verified owner) –
Great tool! I’m amazed how easy it is to install and use and how stable it runs on every platform I tested it with.
Ali (verified owner) –
Perfect! Thank you
John (verified owner) –
First class product, first class support. Thanks, Dave – you get it.
Francis (verified owner) –
Very easy to use and works perfectly!!
Steve (verified owner) –
THIS IS AMAZING!
In minutes I started having a translated SQUARESPACE website. shinka-advisors.com
I’d been searching for a way to make it bilingual, and I didn’t like any of the options. Best I could see was to do some custom code that I’d read about but that’s not something I can mess with anymore.
This system is VERY easy. Any errors are very easy to spot and correct.
Next week I’ll look into changing the loading page, and the way the language toggle buttons are displayed.
I highly recommend this.
I have a Japanese partner and we’ve got both English and Japanese copy for a website. I looked into Localizejs and Bablic, both which seemed sub-optimal. I suppose if I had lots of SKU that changed often, and many many languages, and a huge budget, I might choose one of those.
But we are able to produce all our translations.
Araki (verified owner) –
Great tool! I am very please!
The only downfall would be that whenever we use 3 dots … at the end of a sentence for the punctuation (very common in french), it get mistaken for a code and create weird spaces. Any solution to this?
Other than that it’s perfect!
Dave Hilditch (verified owner) –
Hi – the latest version deals with these … perfectly. Reply to your order email and I’ll send you the latest code.
Yasmin (verified owner) –
Can’t recommend this product and the support I’ve had from this company highly enough. I know nothing about computer code and Dave has helped me every step of the way to get my Shopify site working. The results are great and means I don’t have to have 2 different websites or use Shopify’s one and only bilingual theme which is particularly basic and dull design-wise. Excellent.
Marc –
Exactly what I was looking for! Much easier to implement than I thought thanks to the excellent customer service Dave provided. He took the time to explain thoroughly what I needed to do to implement Multilingualizer and he made sure updates will be created so that all functionalities of our website will be fully bilingual. I highly recommend using this product !
Jonathan (verified owner) –
This is what I was searching for! Nice Tool works pretty selfexplaining! + Great support
and just pay once not monthly 🙂
Kinsey –
I was convinced a product like this didn’t exist before I finally found it! I was a little skeptical of adding any code to my Squarespace, but Dave has been so helpful when I have any questions. He spent the last three days logged into my site to assist me. After he fixed my problems, he even gave me detailed instructions on how to make sure they don’t happen again. I couldn’t be happier with the product or the customer service. THANK YOU!
matthias (verified owner) –
Best way to make a muli language site with Squarspace.
The code works perfectly. Takes a moment to figure it out, but then it’s totaly easy to use.
Support by Dave is awesome and very quick (thanks Dave!)
Highly recommended and 3 thumbs up!
Christian –
Works better on Squarespace than anything else I have tested. And the best of all: lightning fast support from Dave….thank you!
