Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Multilingual Tilda Website

Creating a multilingual Tilda website helps expand your audience and increase customer trust. Users will be able to choose their preferred language, and search engines will correctly index pages in different languages.
In this guide, we will explain how to make a website in two or more languages on Tilda, what blocks to use, and how to properly configure SEO for multilingual pages.

1. Two Ways to Organize Multilingualism

🔹 Option 1 — Several Separate Websites (Different Projects)

This method is suitable if you want to divide a multilingual Tilda online store or corporate website into different domains, for example:
ru.site.com — Russian
en.site.com — English
de.site.com — German
This requires the Business plan, which allows you to create multiple projects.
“Create multiple websites. It is most convenient to first create a version in one language, and then copy the pages and translate them into another language. Unfortunately, you cannot copy the entire website at once.”

This approach is often chosen for large websites that have separate SEO settings, subdomains, and analytics for each region.

🔹 Option 2 — One Website with Multiple Language Pages

This is the main method that Tilda recommends in its official guide to multilingualism.
Each page of the website has a language copy:
/ — Russian version
/en — English version
/de — German version
«Create pages in each language. Add a suitable menu block to each: ME204, ME301, ME302, ME303 or a "hamburger" menu ME401–403. In the block content, specify the languages and published links to the pages.»

How to Create a Structure

  1. Copy pages and translate texts manually or using third-party services.
  2. Specify correct URLs: /ru, /en, /de.
  3. Configure hreflang on Tilda so that search engines understand which version is intended for which language.
  4. For each page, set unique Title, Description, and og-tags — this is important for SEO of a multilingual Tilda website.

2. Adding a Language Switcher Menu

For any Tilda multilingual option, you need to add a language switcher menu — without it, users won't be able to navigate between website versions.
Use standard menu blocks ME204, ME301, ME302, ME303 (horizontal) or ME401–403 (hamburger).
The menu should contain links to pages in other languages.

Examples

If the website is on one domain:
  • / → links to /en, /de
  • /en → links to /, /de
If languages are on separate domains:
  • site.ru → links to site.com, site.de
“Create pages in each language and add the appropriate menu block. In the block content, specify the languages and published links to the pages.”

This menu is also called the Tilda language switcher. It can be placed in the site header, footer, or as a separate element in a Zero Block.

Optional — automatic user redirection

Tilda supports automatic browser language or country detection using special blocks:

T805 — redirection by browser language

Helps to automatically translate the website into the desired language if the user visits, for example, with English browser settings.
“Add block T805. In the block, add cards for each language version and fill in the fields: two-letter language code and a link to the page.”

T808 — geolocation redirect

Redirects visitors to the correct version of the site depending on their country.
"Block T808 allows you to set up automatic redirection of visitors depending on their geographical location (country, region)."

These blocks are optional, but they increase convenience and improve SEO behavioral factors.

3. Multilingualism and SEO Optimization Check

After creating a two-language Tilda website, it is important to check:
  1. Does the language switcher work on all pages.
  2. Whether hreflang tags are correctly specified.
  3. All pages have unique Title, Description, and og-tags.
  4. All language versions have been added to sitemap.xml.
  5. T805 and T808 redirects (if used) function correctly.
  6. Check indexing via Google Search Console and Yandex.Webmaster.

Outcome

This article discusses two options for multilingualism:
1. Several separate websites (ru.site.com, en.site.com)
2. One website with language pages (/en, /de)
Tilda Blocks:
ME204–ME303, ME401–403 — language switcher menu, mandatory
T805, T808 — automatic redirect, optional
