Tips

  • Write your own text in the language your customers read. The buttons follow the language you choose here.

Troubleshooting

"Could not save — check your connection"
Your internet dropped. Wait until it is back, then change something small so the page saves again.
The buttons changed language but your own text did not.
Choosing a language changes the buttons and labels only. Type your business text again in that language.
