Feature
A reviews widget in your visitors' language
Nothing undermines a beautifully translated page faster than an English "Load more" button sitting in the middle of it. One setting translates every word the widget puts on screen into any of 81 languages — and flips the whole layout for right-to-left scripts.

What gets translated
Choose a widget language in the editor and every built-in label follows: source tabs, review dates, the load-more and write-a-review buttons, the owner-response label, read-more pills, empty states and every field and message in the review form.
| Element | Language used |
|---|---|
| Buttons, tabs, read-more pills | Your chosen widget language |
| Review dates | Formatted for the chosen locale |
| Owner response label | Your chosen widget language |
| Review form fields, hints and errors | Your chosen widget language |
| AI review summary | Its own separate language setting |
| Review text written by customers | Left exactly as written — never translated |
Right-to-left done properly
Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu don't just need different words — they need a mirrored layout. Selecting one of them sets the widget's text direction, so headings, star rows, tabs, badges and form fields all flow right to left, and dates render in the locale's own format. You don't configure anything extra.
Summaries in a second language
The AI review summary carries its own language setting. Reviews arriving in a mix of languages can be summarised in the one your visitors read, while the interface stays in whatever suits the page — useful for tourism, hospitality and any business serving more than one market.
One site, several languages
For a multilingual site, create a grid per language, set each one's widget language, and paste the matching embed on each localised page. The reviews behind them come from the same connected sources, so there's nothing to import twice — see the no-code embed for how the snippet works.
