Translations Introduction

Last updated on April 06, 2026.

Translations are YAML files that serve three purposes on Insites:

  • Multilingual sites - Translate your application into multiple languages. Create a YAML file per language that maps translation keys to values, then use the filter in Liquid to render the correct text based on the user's language.
  • System messages - Customize validation error messages, form feedback, and other platform-generated text.
  • Date formatting - Define custom date and time display formats across your application.

Translation files live in the directory. Each file is a YAML map of keys and values that your Liquid templates reference.
