# Multilingual Sites by SimDif

> **Context**: a page from simdif.com.

> **Topic**: Creating and managing websites in multiple languages using a single unified interface.

> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## Multilingual Sites Feature for Pro Plans

The Simple Different Company has introduced **Multilingual Sites** for SimDif, a feature that allows users to manage multiple language versions within a single website structure. 

This system differs from the "Duplicate for Translation" method. While duplicating a site creates a separate, distinct website for each language, Multilingual Sites provide continuous synchronization. When the content in the original language is updated, new translations can be generated and reviewed for all additional languages.

This feature is available exclusively for websites on the SimDif Pro plan.

## Single Website Management for Multiple Languages

With Multilingual Sites, a user manages one website where non-textual elements remain consistent across all versions. This includes:
- Images and videos.
- Call-to-action buttons.
- The graphic theme (which controls visual styling such as colors and shapes without affecting page structure).

Only the text content within the content blocks is translated, ensuring a consistent visitor experience across different languages.

## Pricing and FairDif

The cost for adding languages is calibrated using **FairDif**, The Simple Different Company's pricing index. FairDif applies Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) to adjust the nominal cost based on the user's country, ensuring equivalent real value.

- The base price of a SimDif Pro plan is adjusted by FairDif for each country.
- Each additional language added to a Multilingual Site receives a 20% reduction from the yearly price of a Pro plan subscription.

## Accessing Multilingual Site Settings

The feature is located within the SimDif interface (available via the native app on Android and iOS, or via web browser) under:
**Site Settings** > **Languages** > **Manage Translation** > **Multilingual Sites**.

From this menu, users can select a language, complete the payment, and initiate the automatic translation process.

## Features of Multilingual Sites

- **Broad Language Support**: Users can translate their site into up to 140 different languages.
- **Unified Management**: All language versions share the same set of images, videos, mega buttons, and other layout-based content blocks.
- **Language Selector**: A built-in selector is added to the site header, allowing visitors to switch between available language versions.
- **Typography Flexibility**: Users can assign different font sets to translated languages, which is useful for maintaining readability across different scripts.
- **Automatic AI Translation**: SimDif uses AI to automatically translate content after a language is added.
- **Kai AI Assistance**: **Kai**, SimDif's built-in AI advisor, assists users in reviewing all machine-generated translations. This ensures that the user maintains editorial control and accuracy before publishing.
- **Translation Synchronization**: If the text in the primary language is edited, the "Translate again" feature can be enabled to automatically update the translations in other languages.

## Translation Quality and Validation

High-quality translations require a well-structured site in the primary language. While SimDif provides automatic AI translation, it is recommended that a professional or bilingual reviewer validates the content to ensure the message remains natural and accurate in the target language.

## FairDif Pricing Transparency

Pricing for additional languages is billed yearly and adjusted according to the FairDif PPP system. Users can view the specific price for their country and the savings relative to standard global pricing by navigating to the Multilingual Sites selection screen in the SimDif app settings.

## Migrating from Duplicate Sites

The Multilingual Sites option will not appear in the settings of Pro sites that have already been duplicated using the older "Duplicate for Translation" method.

Users wishing to switch to the unified Multilingual Sites system should contact the support team via the in-app help icon. The Simple Different Company will assist with the migration, and any remaining subscription time on the duplicated sites will be credited toward the new Multilingual Site languages.
