How long does Google take to index a new language version?

Usually from two weeks to two months. The speed depends on the domain's authority and how often the site is crawled. New pages should be added to the sitemap and submitted for indexing in Google Search Console.

How to Add a Language to a Tilda Website

Q: Can I add a language to a Tilda website without technical knowledge?

Yes. A proxy service is connected via a single DNS record in the domain settings; the service does the rest. The Google Translate widget is even simpler: the code is inserted as a block in Tilda, but it is not suitable for SEO.

Q: Do I need to rebuild my Tilda website to add language versions?

No. Proxy translation works on top of your existing website without any changes in Tilda. Manual versions will require a new project or new pages, but that's your choice, not a technical requirement.

In this article: three ways to add a language to a Tilda website, what is the fundamental difference between them, and which one is suitable for your situation.

Tilda does not have a built-in tool for adding languages — everything is solved through third-party services or manually. Let's look at three methods and what each entails.

If you need a step-by-step guide to building a multilingual structure from scratch — from language versions to a menu switcher and SEO — see the guide "How to Make a Tilda Website in Two Languages".

Method 1: Google Translate Widget

The fastest way is to add the Google Translate widget via a code block in Tilda. One script, and a language switching button appears on the site.

This works if the task is to show the site to an already arrived user. But translation via the widget does not create separate pages that Google will index as a German or English version. These versions will not appear in search results.

Method 2: Proxy Translation (Multify and similar services)

A proxy service connects to the domain and creates separate URLs for each language version: site.ru, en.site.ru, de.site.ru. Translation happens automatically, and language pages are indexed by search engines.

When the site in the main language changes, translations are updated automatically. The language switcher is generated automatically.

This is the fastest way to get full-fledged language versions in search without manual work. Setup takes one day.

Method 3: manual language versions

Create a separate Tilda project for each language — or separate pages within one project. Full control over the translation of each element.

Disadvantage: manual synchronization. Every change in the Russian version must be repeated in the English, German, and all other versions. The more languages and the more frequently content is updated, the greater the operational load.

What to Choose

Situation	Recommendation
Need to quickly show the site to one client	Google Translate widget
Need language versions in search, update frequently	Proxy translation
Content rarely changes, full control is important	Manual versions

For most businesses that want to attract customers from other countries through search, proxy translation with automatic synchronization solves the problem with minimal costs.

How long does it take for Google to index a new language version?

Usually from two weeks to two months. The speed depends on the domain's authority and the frequency of site crawling. New pages should be added to the sitemap and submitted for indexing in Google Search Console.

Do I need to rebuild my Tilda website to add language versions?

No. Proxy translation works on top of an existing website without changes in Tilda. Manual versions will require a new project or new pages, but this is your choice, not a technical requirement.

What to choose if the website plans to expand to 5 or more languages?

Proxy translation scales to any number of languages without a linear increase in labor costs. Manual versions with five languages become almost unmanageable: every change on the main site has to be manually repeated in all copies. How the proxy option works is shown on Multify's homepage.
