Website Localization vs Translation: What Is the Difference?
Learn what translation changes, what localization still requires in Bubble, and how GoLocal supports both workflows.
Translation changes language
Translation converts interface text from the source language into the visitor’s selected language while preserving meaning and context.
Localization changes the experience
Localization also covers dates, numbers, currencies, regional links, legal content, writing direction and market-specific decisions.
Clear responsibilities
GoLocal translates Bubble UI, provides a language widget and state, supports RTL and lets teams review translations. Use Bubble Conditions for locale-specific PDFs, prices, dates and business rules. Protect user-entered and database content with exclusion selectors or data-tr-skip.
Release safely
Start with one target language, protect dynamic content, test every page and popup, then review the Translation Editor before release.
