Overview
Teachable makes it easy to offer a localized experience for students using built-in language support. You can automatically translate system-generated text on student-facing pages, and manually customize text that’s not included in the auto-translation.
Key benefits / use cases
Easily localize your school by selecting one primary language for student-facing pages.
Automatically translate key student pages like your product catalog and product detail pages.
Customize legacy content using the manual Custom Text tool.
How to enable automatic translation
You can automatically translate system-generated text on the latest student-facing pages: Browse Products and Product Detail Pages (PDPs).
Note: These settings only affect the new student experience. Older pages and admin views won’t be translated.
Go to Site > Language and Text from your admin sidebar.
Under Student-facing language, choose your desired language from the dropdown.
Languages available: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, Thai and Turkish

Click Save.
Tip: Click Preview product catalog before saving your language to see how your school looks translated.
Example
If your school language is set to Spanish:
“My Library” becomes “Mi biblioteca”

Manually translating additional content
For areas not covered by one-click translation (like checkout, email notifications, and older pages), you can manually translate text using the Custom Text feature.
