Your store locator can display in any language. Add your translations once, and the widget automatically shows the right version based on each visitor's browser. French visitors see French. German visitors see German. Spanish, Japanese, Arabic, you name it. No extra code needed.

Add a Language
Head to Phrases in your dashboard. Select + Add New Language from the dropdown and pick your language.
Add as many languages as you need. Each one appears as its own tab.
Translate Your Phrases
You'll see a table of all the text in your locator. Enter your translations in the right column.
What you can translate:
- UI text: Search placeholder, "Get Directions", "Back to results", days of the week, error messages
- Filter names: Your tag group labels like "Store Type" or "Services"
- Tag names: Individual tags like "Premium Dealer" or "Open Sundays"
- Custom field labels: Any buttons or fields you've added
Start with the search placeholder and your filter names. Those are what customers see first.
Click Save Settings.
Done 🎉
Your locator now displays the right language for each visitor automatically. No code changes. No separate embeds per language. It just works.
Set a Specific Language
Automatic detection handles most cases. But if you control page language yourself (translation plugins, custom language switchers, separate language subdirectories), you can tell the widget which language to use.
Use the Embed Code Generator
On the Embed page, select a language from the dropdown to generate an embed code locked to that language. For example, your Spanish page gets the Spanish embed, your French page gets the French embed. See Embed Code Options for details.

Common Questions
Does the widget detect visitor language automatically?
Yes. It reads the visitor's browser language and displays matching phrases. If no match exists, it shows your default language.
Can I translate filter and tag names?
Yes. "Authorized Dealer" becomes "Revendeur Agréé" in French, "Vertragshändler" in German. All your tags and filter groups are translatable.
What about location data?
Location names, addresses, and descriptions stay the same across languages. Street addresses rarely need translation. If you need different content per region, create separate location entries.
Can I preview a language?
Add ?sp_lang=fr to your page URL to preview that language, regardless of your browser settings.
