Translate a page
If your buyers, students or visitors think in another language, a translated page is the warmest welcome you can give them — and the kind of job that sits on a to-do list for years. On a bernard-hosted site it's one ask.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- Paste it into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use — then ask in your own words, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the new page and the link between the two versions, press Approve, and it's live.
Tell the AI who the page is for — formal or familiar address matters in many languages — and it will choose the right register, not just the right words.
The prompt
“Translate my [name of the page] page into [the language] and add it as a new page, linked from the original — keep names, prices and addresses exactly as they are.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
Questions people ask
- How do I add a translated version of a page to my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, ask your AI — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — to translate the page and add it as a new page with a link between the two. You see both on a preview, and nothing goes live until you press Approve.
- Can I check the translation if I don't speak the language well?
- Ask the AI to translate it back into English so you can compare, or send the preview link to a friend who speaks the language — the preview is a real page anyone can look at before you approve.
- Will the translated page show up in searches in that language?
- It can — it's a real page on your site, so ask the AI to give it a translated title and description too. The AI preserves your site's search-engine metadata when it edits, and a full year of history means you can remove or redo it any time.
