A bilingual wedding website with a language switcher

What the big platforms tell you to do

Almost none of them translate anything. Their advice is to type every piece of text twice, one under the other, in the same box.

While we are unable to offer an automatic translate button, you can absolutely create a bilingual site by manually typing your content in both languages.

Hitched help centre, read on 18 August 2026. Bodas.net, mariages.net and matrimonio.com are the same platform and give the same answer. Zola's guidance in the US is to write the must-have information in multiple languages on the page.

It works, but the site ends up twice as long and every guest scrolls past a language they do not read to find the one they do.

How ours works

What it does not do, stated plainly

• —Two languages: English and Spanish. No French, Italian, German, Catalan or Basque.
• —It is not machine translation. The words you write yourself — your story, the schedule — you write in both languages if you want them in both. What is always translated is the site's own labels and the entire RSVP form.
• —If everyone on your guest list shares a language, this gives you nothing and you should not pay for it.

Frequently asked questions

Do my guests have to pick a language every time?

No. The site reads their browser language and opens in it. The switcher is there in case they prefer the other one.

Do I have to write our story in both languages?

Only if you want it read in both. The site's labels, section headings and the RSVP form are already translated, so that part is not your job.

Is the RSVP form bilingual too?

Yes, all of it, including the meal choice and the allergy field. That is where a guest who does not read the language actually gets stuck.

Which languages are supported?

English and Spanish. Nothing else, and we would rather say so before you pay.
