Q: Multilingual?
Hi BD Team,
I am in a multilingual market (for me specifically, German, English, French and Italian) (Switzerland). Therefore, any website here should have min. 2 languages, ideally all of the above. Is there a way to make it multilingual?
sorry if this is an obvious question/answer. Couldnt find it though:-)
Thanks!

Yes, you can make your Brilliant Directories website multilingual to cater to languages like German, English, French, and Italian. Here's how you can do it:
Multilingual Support:
Brilliant Directories supports multiple languages, and you can use the Google Website Translator add-on to add a drop-down menu to your website, allowing users to select their language. Once selected, Google Translate will translate the front-end of your website to the user’s selected language.
For more details on the Google Website Translator add-on:

We’re happy to include this add-on as a welcome to the BD family, and you can limit the available languages in the dropdown to toggle languages.
Higher Level Translation Tools:
For a more comprehensive solution, you can use third-party tools like GTranslate. GTranslate allows you to clone your website on translated sub-domains for each additional language. For example, es.mywebsite.com for Spanish and fr.mywebsite.com for French.
