Translate your content into other languages
Add project languages, translate posts, articles and widget text by hand or automatically, and let visitors switch language.
Releaseo lets you publish your content in several languages. You choose the languages once, translate each piece of content (manually or automatically), and decide how visitors get the right version.
Content localization depends on your plan. If it is not included, the Localization page shows a notice that English is included by default and points you to Plan and usage.
Add languages to your project
Open Settings, then Localization.
In the Project languages card, search the Language to add field by name or code.
Select Add locale.
Active languages appear as tabs in your content editors. The page also shows your usage for Languages, Automatic translations (this month) and Characters. When you reach your plan's language limit, adding is disabled and a hint suggests upgrading.
Each language has an actions menu with Set default, Activate or Deactivate, and Remove:
Set default changes the source language. Existing source content is then treated as that language, and it can't be changed once translations exist.
Deactivate hides a language without removing it.
Remove stops offering the language to visitors. Saved translations are kept if you add the language again.
Changing settings here needs the localization management permission.
Choose how languages are delivered
The Language delivery card controls how your content reaches visitors:
Enable localization shows published translations. Switch it off to show the default language while keeping your translations saved.
Language detection can be Automatic (recommended), Browser language or Locale from code. Automatic uses the locale your app passes to Releaseo first, and falls back to the visitor's browser language.
Select Save language settings to apply. Missing or unpublished translations show your default-language content.
Translate posts, articles, roadmap items and launches
Open a saved post, Help Center article, roadmap item or in-app launch. A language selector (Content language) lets you switch between the original and each active language.
Pick a language tab.
Fill in the translated title, summary and content, or open More translation actions to translate automatically from the original. Automatic translation asks for confirmation, sends the saved source text to the translation provider, and replaces that language's draft. Review it before publishing.
Select Save translation.
Select Publish translation and confirm. The translation becomes visible wherever the source content is published.
A new post or article must be saved as a draft first. Other actions include Reload saved translation and Unpublish translation. If the original changes after you translate, the tab shows Source changed — review needed.
Automatic translations count against your monthly allowance. When it is used up, you see "You have used all automatic translations for this month", and you can still translate manually.
Translate the widget text
Widget wording, such as titles, buttons, navigation and form fields, is translated separately.
Open the widget settings and go to the Translations tab. English is the source and is read-only.
Choose a Preview language. Use Search widget text or the section tabs to find a field.
Type a translation, or select the translate icon in the field to translate it from English. The result is added to your draft for review.
Select Save translations. Saving updates the live widget; there is no separate publish step. Empty fields fall back to the default text.
To fill many fields at once, open Translate all and choose Into one language or into all languages. A confirmation explains how many empty texts will be translated. Texts you already translated are never replaced, and nothing goes live until you save. Common widget texts are answered from a built-in dictionary at no cost to your monthly allowance.
Let visitors switch language
On Settings, Localization, the Visitor language menus section has two cards:
Widget language switcher: switch on Show a language switcher in the widget, then select Save widget language switcher. Visitors pick a published language from the widget header, and their choice is remembered on their device.
Public site language switcher: switch on Show a language switcher on the public site.
Each surface keeps its own setting, and you need access to the widget or public site to change them.
