Supported Languages
Currently 6 languages are supported:
| Language | Code |
|---|---|

Step 1: Enable Translation Languages
Method 1: From the Design Tab
- Click the Design tab in the left panel of the editor
- Scroll down to find the Multilingual section
- Click the Add Translation button
- Select the languages you want to translate into and click Confirm
Method 2: From the AI Tab
- Click the AI tab in the left panel of the editor
- In the Add a language to translate area at the bottom, click the language you want
- Once added, you can immediately run AI translation
AI translation is limited to 2 uses per day. Running it translates every section at once and costs one use per language. We recommend finishing your original content before translating — if you edit the body text later, you'll have to translate that language again, at the cost of another use. See Writing with AI for details.
Per-Language Font Settings
English fonts (e.g., Playfair Display) may not be suitable for Korean or Japanese. When you add a language, you can set a different font for each language.
- English: Playfair Display, Lora, etc.
- Korean: Pretendard, Gowun Batang, MaruBuri, etc.
- Japanese: Noto Sans JP, Noto Serif JP, Shippori Mincho, etc.
- Vietnamese: Be Vietnam Pro, Nunito, etc.
Remove a Language
Click the X button next to a configured language to remove that language and its font settings.
Step 2: Enter Translations
Tab Switching
When translation is enabled, language tabs appear at the top of each section editor.
- Original tab (dark color): Shows the existing editor as-is
- Translation tab (blue): Shows the translation input form for that language
Click a tab to switch between editing the original and entering translations.
Translatable Fields
In the translation tab, only text fields can be translated. Images, coordinates, colors, etc. are shared from the original.

Array Item Translation
Some sections also allow translating repeated items:

|---|---|---|
| Couple Profile (Interview) | Q&A Items | Question, Groom Answer, Bride Answer |
| Timeline | Timeline Items | Date, Title, Description |
| Info Guide | Info Slides | Tab Title, Title, Description |
Original Reference
When entering translations, the original text is displayed below each field for reference. Field labels and instructions are automatically displayed in your language.
Step 3: Share Preview (OG) Translation
The preview title and description shown when sharing the invitation link on KakaoTalk, LINE, Facebook, etc. can also be set differently for each language.
How to Set Up
You can configure this in Dashboard > OG Settings or on the Share Setup screen:
- If translation languages are enabled, language tabs appear at the top
- Original tab: Existing preview settings (title, description, image)
- Translation tab: Enter the preview title and description for that language
- The original text is displayed below each field for reference
The preview image is the same for all languages. Only the title and description can be set differently per language.
Result
When shared with an English URL, the English preview title/description is displayed. When shared with a Japanese URL, the Japanese preview is shown. Languages without translations will use the original title/description.
Step 4: Share
Language-Specific URLs
When translation is enabled, changing the language part of the URL displays the invitation in that language.
https://snappost.co/ko/invitation/abc123 → Korean
https://snappost.co/en/invitation/abc123 → English
https://snappost.co/ja/invitation/abc123 → Japanese
https://snappost.co/es/invitation/abc123 → Spanish
https://snappost.co/vi/invitation/abc123 → Vietnamese
Copy Language-Specific URLs
You can check and copy language-specific share URLs in two places:
- Share Setup — the per-language URL list appears in the Public URL area
- Dashboard > Settings page — Same language-specific URLs available
Each language shows a flag, language name, URL, and copy button so you can quickly copy and share the link for any language.
Language URLs for Business & Event Pages
Event pages that appear in search results (conferences, seminars, exhibitions, pop-up stores) use a different share address.
Instead of the invitation path (/invitation/…), they use the category and search slug, and only the language part changes.
https://snappost.co/ko/launch/my-popup → Korean
https://snappost.co/en/launch/my-popup → English
https://snappost.co/ja/launch/my-popup → Japanese
Once published, a Share URLs by language list appears at the bottom of the Share Setup screen, with a copy button for each language.
Adding a translation language also adds language tabs to the Search optimization area, so you can enter a separate search title, description, and keywords per language.
Visitor Language Switching
When visitors view the invitation, a language switch button appears at the bottom right of the screen. Pressing the button opens a dropdown where they can select their preferred language.
- The original language is also included in the dropdown, so visitors can switch back from a translated version
- The language switch button only appears on premium invitations with translation data
Language Suggestion Banner (Auto-Detect)
If a visitor's browser language differs from the page they are viewing, a banner appears at the top suggesting they view it in that language.
For example, a guest in Japan opening a Korean invitation link sees this.
日本語で表示しますか? [ 日本語で見る ] ✕
The language is never forced. Visitors must press the button themselves; if they don't, they keep seeing the language of the original link. This is so the language the host sent is never overwritten.
The banner appears only when all of the conditions below are met.
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| Browser language differs | The visitor's browser language differs from the language in the current URL |
| That translation exists | Only when you have actually entered a translation for that language |
| No explicit choice | If the visitor already picked a language, that choice is respected |
| Not dismissed | Once dismissed with ✕, it does not reappear during that visit |
The banner text is shown in the language being suggested, because a visitor who cannot read the current language could not read the message either.
The banner works automatically once translations are entered. Note that turning off "Show language button" in the editor hides the banner along with the language switch button.
FAQ
What happens to fields without translations?
Fields without translations display the original language text as-is. It's fine to translate only some fields.
Can I set different OG images for each language?
No. The OG image is the same across all languages. Only the title and description can be set differently per language.
Can I add or remove translation languages later?
Yes. You can add or remove languages anytime from the Design tab or AI tab in the editor. Removing a language deletes its translation data and font settings.
Can free users use the translation feature?
Multilingual translation is a premium feature. When free users click "Add Translation," a premium upgrade prompt is displayed.
Can the language switch automatically for each visitor?
It does not switch automatically; a suggestion banner appears at the top instead. The visitor has to press the button. To open directly in a specific language, share that language's URL.
The banner doesn't appear
A translation in the visitor's browser language has to actually be entered. It also stays hidden if the visitor dismissed the banner or already picked a language themselves. It is also hidden when "Show language button" is turned off in the editor.
