How do I set the language for a page in Website Builder?
Website Builder includes a default language feature that helps screen readers read your site’s content aloud for those who need it. This ensures that your website is accessible to as many visitors as possible. The language screen readers use will be the same as the language you chose for your website during onboarding. If you didn't pick one, it defaults to the language set in your Website Builder editor.
You can manually change the language for individual pages in your site’s settings. This guide will show you how to do that in just a few clicks.
