Add a second language to your review site

Updated November 9, 2026 · Features and options

Half of your market may read another language than your site is written in. A Belgian site in Dutch misses the French-speaking half of the country, a Swiss site in German misses the French and Italian parts. ReviewTycoon can now serve extra language versions of the same site on the same domain, for example www.example.be/fr/ next to your Dutch pages.

How it works

  • Each language version is a copy of your site under its own folder in the URL (/fr/, /de/, ...). Your existing pages and URLs stay exactly as they are.
  • Your site texts, menu, categories and articles are translated automatically with AI, localized for the country of your domain (Belgian French for a .be site, for example). The interface (buttons, labels, forms) is already translated for every language we support.
  • You can edit every translated text afterwards: the language version appears as yourdomain.com/fr in your site lists, with its own Texts, Articles and Categories screens.
  • Pages in different languages are linked with hreflang tags and listed in a sitemap index, so Google shows the right language to the right visitor. A language switcher appears in the menu, and visitors whose browser prefers another language see a small, dismissible hint. We never redirect visitors automatically, which is what Google recommends.

Adding a language

  1. Open Edit Review Site → tab Languages.
  2. Choose the language and keep the suggested URL folder (the language code). Tick Translate all published articles right away, or leave it off to translate article by article later.
  3. Click Add language. Translation runs in the background; the tab shows the progress. Use the preview link to check the result.
  4. Happy with it? Click Publish. From that moment the language version is visible to visitors and search engines, hreflang tags appear on your pages and the language switcher shows up in the menu. You can unpublish at any time.

Keeping translations up to date

In Articles and Categories every item shows a badge per language version: green = translated, grey = not translated yet, yellow = the original was edited after the translation. Click the translate icon next to a badge to (re)translate one item, or use Translate missing on the Languages tab to do them all. A re-translation keeps the translated URL, so nothing breaks. Translations you edited by hand are not overwritten unless you ask for a re-translation.

Good to know

  • Reviews, comments and newsletter sign-ups are kept per language version, so a French page never shows Dutch user content.
  • Internal links inside translated articles point to the translated version of the linked page as soon as that exists.
  • Offers (affiliate links) are not translated yet; a language version of a review site shows the same offers as the main site via its shared cloaked links. Content sites (articles and categories) are fully supported.
  • Submit your sitemap in Google Search Console as usual: /sitemap.xml now lists the sitemap of every language version.
