Languages

The Languages screen appears when your site serves more than one language. It shows each language and the address where you can preview it.

The default language uses ordinary paths such as /services. Other languages use a prefix such as /uk/services. All versions belong to the same page, so changing a page does not create a separate copy for every language. A site written in vzk can instead give every page one address that answers in each visitor’s own language. The screen then says so, and lists the languages without an address or a preview for each.

Shared words

A site keeps its words in its files: each file’s words in another language are a file of their own, listed under Languages on Pages. A header’s and footer’s links are words of the layout or component that draws them.

A change to a language file waits on a branch like every other change to your site’s code, and the screen shows the branch you picked on Pages. Words that belong to only one page are in that page’s own file and in its language files.

Words on a site written in vzk

A site written in vzk has no dictionary. It is written once, in its default language, and what it says in another language is kept in files of words, one for each page, layout or component that is translated. The screen lists them under Words in each language, language by language, with a Draft or Not published pill on a file the branch has changed or added. Each opens on its card on Pages, where you read it, see its history, and discard a change to it. A language with no words yet says so, and its visitors read your pages in the default language until it has some.

Adding or removing a language is a coding-agent task. A new language also needs its words and links, so Vizitka does not offer a dashboard switch that could leave half the site untranslated.
