Can you use multiple languages for a website?

A multi-lingual website is a website where the content is written in more than one language. The information displayed in different languages is often the same, but maybe tailored for different audiences. Booking.com is an example of a multi-lingual website as its content is available in 35 different languages.

Why do websites use multiple languages?

Reaching a larger audience

First and foremost, a multi-language website will help you expand your reach and make contact with a much wider audience. With only 25% of internet users being native English speakers, it's high time to start catering to the other 75% and being sensitive to their needs.

How do I add more languages to my website?

Google Translate

It is by far the easiest and more common way to add multiple language support to your website. To add Google Translate to your site, you simply sign up for an account and then paste a small bit of code to the HTML.
