How to Make Your Squarespace Site Multilingual (2026 Guide)

One Squarespace Site, Every Language Your Customers Speak

Squarespace does not translate your website for you. Weglot does, it plugs straight into your Squarespace dashboard, and you can have a second language live this afternoon.

That is the short answer. The longer one is that a translated site and a multilingual site that gets found and wins customers are two different things. This guide covers both.

Setting it up yourself? Start a free Weglot trial and follow the steps below.

Rather have it handled? We set up, style, and optimize multilingual Squarespace sites for clients. Say Howdy and we will take it from here.

Agave Studio is a Weglot partner. If you sign up through our link, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. We recommend it because it is what we set up on client sites.

Does Squarespace support multiple languages?

Not on its own. Squarespace lets you set one site language, which controls built-in text like checkout labels and date formats. It does not translate your pages.

That leaves two routes:

• Build it by hand. Duplicate every page in each language and manage a second navigation. It is free, and it doubles your upkeep. Every edit has to be made twice, and it is easy for the two versions to drift apart.

• Use Weglot. Weglot is the multilingual tool Squarespace recommends, and it connects from inside your Squarespace settings on version 7.1. It detects your content, translates it, and serves each language at its own web address, such as es.yoursite.com.

For almost every business we work with, Weglot is the right call. You keep one site to maintain. New pages and blog posts get translated as you publish them. And each language version can be indexed by Google, which the copy-and-paste browser translators can't offer.

Machine translation does the first pass. You can then edit any line yourself, add a glossary so brand names and industry terms stay consistent, or order professional translation from inside Weglot.

How much does Weglot cost on Squarespace?

Weglot is billed separately from Squarespace, and the price depends on two things: how many languages you add and how many words are on your site. Most small business sites land on Starter or Business.

Plan | Price per month | Translated languages | Translated words Free | $0 | 1 | 2,000 Starter | $17 | 1 | 10,000 Business | $32 | 3 | 50,000 Pro | $87 | 5 | 200,000

Prices are from Weglot's pricing page as of October 2026. Paying annually works out to twelve months for the price of ten, and larger plans exist for sites that need ten or more languages.

Two things to know before you pick:

• Word count adds up faster than you expect. A brochure site fits in Starter. Add three years of blog posts and you may not. You can exclude pages from translation, which is often the difference between two tiers.

• Weglot lists multilingual SEO from the Business plan up. If the point of translating is to be found in search, plan for that tier.

Paid plans come with a 14-day free trial and no credit card, so you can see your real word count before you commit.

How to set up Weglot on Squarespace

The built-in connection works on Squarespace 7.1. Set aside about an hour for the install and a first read-through.

1. Create your Weglot account. Start with the free trial.

2. Connect it in Squarespace. Go to Settings, then Site Languages, then Multilingual, and click Connect next to Weglot.

3. Choose your languages. Confirm the language your site is written in, then pick the one you are adding. Start with one. It is easier to get a single language right than to tidy up four.

4. Add the DNS record. Weglot gives you a record for each language address. Add it wherever your domain's DNS is managed. It usually verifies within minutes.

5. Check the language switcher. Squarespace adds one to your site automatically. Make sure it shows up on desktop and mobile.

6. Read your key pages in the new language. Home, services, contact, and anything a customer signs or pays on. Fix what reads oddly in Weglot's editor.

At this point your site is translated. Whether it is finished is the next section.

What the default install leaves undone

Weglot gets you from one language to two quickly. It does not know your brand, your customers, or which pages earn you money. These are the five things we fix on every multilingual site we take on.

1. The language switcher. The default one works, and it rarely matches the design. We restyle and place it so it looks like part of the site, on desktop and on mobile.

2. Translated SEO titles and descriptions. Your page titles and meta descriptions are what show up in search results. Machine-translated versions are accurate and flat. We rewrite them around the terms people search in that language.

3. Word count. We exclude what doesn't need translating, such as old blog archives and internal pages, so you stay in the cheapest plan that fits.

4. Human review where it counts. Sales pages, legal language, and anything where tone matters should be read by a fluent speaker before a customer sees it.

5. Technical checks. We confirm search engines can see each language version and understand which one to show to whom.

None of this is hard to learn. It is fiddly, and it is the difference between a site that happens to be in Spanish and one that wins Spanish-speaking customers.

Want it done right the first time? Our multilingual setup covers the install and all five fixes above. Say Howdy and tell us which languages you have in mind.

Should your business add Spanish?

Multilingual sites are not only for companies selling overseas. For a lot of US service businesses, the second language that matters is the one already spoken in the neighborhood.

It is worth a serious look if:

• Your team already serves customers in Spanish by phone or in person, and your website doesn't say so

• You are in a field where trust and clarity decide who gets the call, such as law, healthcare, dental, real estate, or home services

• Competitors in your city have English-only sites, which leaves Spanish-language searches wide open

A customer who can read your services, your process, and your intake form in their first language is far more likely to pick up the phone. And a Spanish version of your service pages gives you a second set of pages that can rank in local search.

If search visibility is the goal, pair the translation with a plan for it. Our Squarespace SEO services cover both languages.

Frequently asked questions

• Does Squarespace support multiple languages?

  Not natively. Squarespace sets one site language and does not translate page content. You can duplicate pages by hand or connect Weglot, which is the option Squarespace recommends.

• How much does Weglot cost on Squarespace?

  There is a free plan for one language and up to 2,000 words. Paid plans start at $17 a month for one language and 10,000 words, and $32 a month for three languages and 50,000 words. It is billed separately from your Squarespace subscription.

• Is Weglot good for SEO?

  Yes, when it is set up with care. Each language gets its own address that search engines can index. The ranking gains come from the work after install: translated titles and descriptions written for how people search in that language.

• Does Weglot work on Squarespace 7.0?

  The built-in connection is for version 7.1. Older sites need Weglot's standard integration, and it is often a good moment to talk about moving to 7.1.

• Can I edit the translations?

  Yes. Every line can be edited in Weglot's dashboard or its visual editor, and you can set glossary rules so names and key terms are never translated.

• How long does it take?

  The install takes about an hour. Reviewing and polishing a typical small business site takes a few days, most of it reading.
