Your page in multiple languages

Two language systems, one page

Pledgix pages actually speak two kinds of language:

• The page interface (buttons, dates, the feed, the donation flow) comes in five platform languages: English, Hebrew (עברית), Russian (Русский), Spanish (Español), and French (Français). Visitors switch these with the language dropdown in the page header.
• Your story can be written in far more — a catalog of roughly 60 languages, with אידיש (Yiddish) first on the list. Visitors switch story languages with the pills that appear directly above your story.

Right-to-left languages (Hebrew, Yiddish, Arabic, and others) render correctly, automatically.

How language URLs work

The five platform languages each get their own page address:

• Your campaign's primary language lives at the clean URL: pledgix.com/your-campaign
• The other platform languages use a prefix: pledgix.com/he/your-campaign, pledgix.com/ru/your-campaign, pledgix.com/es/your-campaign, pledgix.com/fr/your-campaign

Share a language-specific link directly — send the /he/ link to your Hebrew-speaking list and the clean link to everyone else. The link is the language: whoever opens it sees exactly that version, so what you send is what your recipient gets. (There's deliberately no automatic redirect based on a visitor's past choice or device settings.)

Story languages beyond the platform five don't get their own URLs — readers reach them through the story pills on the page.

Adding translations of your story

The page interface translates itself, but your story is your writing — so you provide the translations:

1. Open your campaign dashboard and go to the Design & Media tab.
2. In the story/about editor, add a language — the picker is searchable by native or English name.
3. Write (or paste) your story in that language. You can also use the built-in AI assistant to generate a draft from bullet points, per language (Pledgix One and above, when AI features are enabled for your campaign).
4. Adjust the text direction if needed — each language can be set LTR or RTL individually (RTL languages default correctly).
5. Save. The editor shows your progress across the languages you've added, like "2 of 3 languages completed."

You can also give each language a custom display name, and remove a language you no longer want to maintain.

What visitors see when a translation is missing

The story pills only show languages you've actually added, so nobody lands on an empty translation. If a visitor's page-interface language has no matching story version, the interface still switches and your story gracefully falls back — first to your primary language, then to English. Nothing ever breaks or shows blank.

Tip: You don't need many languages. Translate for the audiences you're actually reaching — a strong Yiddish or Hebrew and English pair often covers more donors than five rushed versions.

Right-to-left done right

When Hebrew is selected as the page language, the entire page mirrors correctly: text alignment, layout direction, and the donation flow all flip to right-to-left. RTL story languages flip the story itself. If you paste Hebrew text into a language you've marked LTR (or vice versa), just flip that language's direction toggle in the editor.

A note on plans

Pledgix Go campaigns run a single-language story — multilingual stories are available on Pledgix One and above (the Pledgix team can adjust access per campaign).

Tip: After adding a translation, open your page and read that version end to end via its story pill — it's the fastest way to catch direction or formatting surprises.
