Translations are not showing on my site
Most "nothing changed" reports have one of five causes. Try them in this order.
Five checks#
- Did you publish? Saved or machine-translated text is not live until you publish. See Publish your changes.
- Is the install in place? Run the checker on your site's Install page. See Test my install.
- Are you looking at a cached copy? Open the page in a private window. If it works there, clear your site's cache. See Caching plugins and CDNs.
- Is the language chosen? A visitor sees the language in the page address first, then their saved choice. Pick the language in the switcher. See The wrong language is shown.
- Is the text on a page the scan found? Text added later may need a new scan. See Only some text is translated.
If none of this helps, the full guide is The page is not translating.
Support macro#
Thanks for getting in touch. Most cases are one of five things: the changes were not published yet, a cache is serving an old page, the install tag is missing, a saved language choice is in the way, or the text was added after the last scan. A private window and the checker on your site's Install page usually tell us which. Our guide goes through them in order: [link to this help article]. If it still does not work, please send the page address and what you expected to see.
