Your tour now reaches Mexico City, Tokyo and Berlin, but your website still only speaks English. Bandzoogle can switch its own buttons and receipts to French, Spanish or German. SiteTran translates the rest: tour dates, bio, store, mailing list signup and EPK, in 187+ languages.
Driving growth for companies with millions of users
SiteTran goes into Bandzoogle's Headers & Metatags settings, which add code to every page of your site. Every Bandzoogle website plan includes this, so most sites are ready to go.
Every website plan includes custom code and Site-wide settings, so the Widget Code loads on all your pages: music, tour, store, blog, EPK pages and pages you add later. Ticket sales are a Pro feature in Bandzoogle; translation works the same on every website plan.
Custom code comes with Bandzoogle's website plans. On the one-page EPK or a Merch Table plan, open Site-wide settings and look for the Headers & Metatags tab; if it's not there, a website plan adds it.
Bandzoogle's 14-day trial includes all features, but the site is password protected. You can install and test SiteTran while you build, then share it with fans once you've upgraded and the password is gone.
Bandzoogle adds Headers & Metatags content to the head of every page, so you paste the Widget Code once and your whole site is covered.
Sign up free, add your Bandzoogle site's address, select its original language, and pick the languages your fans speak. Then copy your Widget Code from the Dropdown Style page.
In Bandzoogle, open Edit Content, then Pages, and click Site-wide settings below your page list. Open the Headers & Metatags tab, paste all three lines and click Save.
Open your site in a private window and pick a language. SiteTran discovers your text as pages load, then you translate it with AI, your own translators, or both, and publish.
<script>var sitetran = {site_id: your_site_id};</script> <script src="//c.sitetran.com/widget/v3.js"></script> <div id="sitetran_translate_element"></div>
SiteTran gives you your own ready-to-paste code, with your site ID already in it. The div is where the language dropdown is created.
Added to the <head> of every page on your site.
Code from Headers & Metatags loads before your page content, so the language dropdown starts at the very top of the page. On the Dropdown Style page, set Widget Position to Fixed on window to pin it in a corner, or move it with a few lines of CSS.
Positioning the Language Dropdown →Bandzoogle's HTML Code feature belongs to one page. Pasted there, SiteTran would only run on that page, and fans clicking through to your store or tour page would lose their language. Keep the Widget Code in Headers & Metatags.
Bandzoogle sites swap in the next page without a full reload. SiteTran runs again on each page, so the dropdown stays put and the chosen language carries over. We tested this on a live Bandzoogle site.
SiteTran translates whatever Bandzoogle shows on the page, including the labels Bandzoogle generates for you. It keeps watching the page, so event popups, cart messages and other text that appears later are translated when they appear.
Your events list, the date and time labels, and the event details popup that opens when a fan clicks a show are translated in every language you add. Keep venue names as written with the Glossary, and show a translated tour poster per language with image translation.
Album descriptions, liner notes, credits and your bio are translated. Song and album titles are your art, so add them to the Glossary and they stay exactly as you wrote them, in every language.
Product names, sizes, descriptions, buttons and cart messages shown on your Bandzoogle site are translated. Fans see prices, options and buttons in their language right up to checkout.
The signup form, its labels, placeholders and thank-you message are translated, so fans join your list for presale codes in their own language.
Subscription tier descriptions, the pages fans unlock and your blog posts are translated when they're shown. Members-only pages are translated once a fan has access, since the content is then on the page.
SiteTran only changes the text visitors see. You keep one version of each page in Bandzoogle, and when you add a show or rewrite your bio, the new text shows up in SiteTran ready to translate.
Band sites are full of names that look like ordinary words. Machine translation can turn an event called Jam For Justice into French for fruit jam. Here's how you stop that once, for every language.
Add your band name, members, album and song titles, festivals and venues, with the translation you want. Usually that's the name itself. AI translation and your translators see it on every phrase.
Glossary →Write it once, for example: “Never translate song titles, album titles or venue names. Keep ticket and presale wording short.” AI translation follows your rules in every language.
Translation Rules →If you add your own HTML, put translate="no" or the notranslate class on lyrics or anything that should stay in the original language.
Streaming sends your songs everywhere. Your website is where those listeners buy tickets, merch and records, and where promoters check whether you're worth booking.
Fans in Mexico City, Bogotá and São Paulo buy tickets from the tour page and merch from the store. Give them the dates, door times and shipping notes in Spanish and Portuguese, not a guess from the browser's translate button.
Japanese promoters and fans expect details in Japanese. Machine translation handles the first pass of your bio and tour page, and a bilingual friend or your local promoter reviews it before it goes live.
Booking agents for festivals in Germany, France and Spain read a lot of EPKs. Send yours in their language with a link that opens straight in it, and keep press quotes in their original language.
Writing in French or Spanish first? Select your site's real original language when you create your SiteTran site, then add English and the rest.
By default SiteTran remembers each visitor's choice in a cookie and detects their browser language. When you want a link that always opens in one language, for an email to a booker in Madrid or a festival form in Germany, switch the URL Type to hash links.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Switches Bandzoogle's own buttons, confirmation messages and receipts to one language. | Copies of your pages under a language menu, as "not in menu" pages or in two columns, translated by hand. Or a second, separately billed website. | A script in Headers & Metatags. None of them has a Bandzoogle-specific guide. | SiteTran translates your pages as they render and adds a language dropdown. Bandzoogle-specific guide included. |
| Your own content | Not translated. Bandzoogle says it doesn't cover page titles, text features or other content you add. | Whatever you translate and keep in step yourself. | Translated as displayed. Free tiers are often machine-only without editing. | Everything on the page, including Bandzoogle's built-in labels. |
| Languages | One at a time: English, French, Spanish or German. | As many as you can maintain. Lite allows 10 pages in total. | Often capped per plan. Weglot Starter: 1 language, 10,000 words. | Unlimited on every plan, 187+ to choose from. |
| New shows and edits | Not applicable. | Add every show and price change again in each copy. | Detected when the page is visited. | Discovered as it appears. Machine Translation Auto Translate can translate it right away. |
| Names and titles | Not applicable. | Under your control, by hand. | Varies by service and plan. | Glossary and Translation Rules keep band names, songs and venues as written. |
| Language URLs | Not applicable. | Each copy has its own page address. | Usually same URL; indexable URLs on higher plans or extra setup. | Same URL with translated meta tags, hash links for sharing, language subdomains as an advanced setup. |
| Team workflow | None needed. | Whoever can edit your Bandzoogle site. | Varies, often on higher plans. | Translators and reviewers per language, approval, Glossary and Translation Rules, with unlimited teammates. |
Bandzoogle details are from Bandzoogle's help center articles on site language, bilingual sites, custom code and pricing. Service details are from each provider's website and pricing page. All checked October 20, 2026. Bandzoogle's Site language setting is worth using alongside SiteTran if your site is written in French, Spanish or German.
Start with machine translation and refine it with your manager, label, promoter or a bilingual fan. You decide what gets approved and when it goes live.
Get suggestions for any phrase, or translate new phrases automatically, so a show added the night before goes up in every language. You choose whether translations are approved automatically or reviewed first.
Invite the people who know your scene in each country and choose who can approve. Turn on AI Translation Review for a second opinion on your bio.
Keep names consistent in the Glossary, set Translation Rules that AI translation follows, and reuse past work with Similar Phrases, so "Doors 8 pm" is translated once for every show.
Choose from three dropdown types, with or without flags, and add your own CSS to match your Bandzoogle theme. Visitors are switched to their browser language automatically.
Here's what's translated as soon as you install SiteTran, and what it takes to give each language its own indexable address.
SiteTran translates more than visible text. When a visitor switches language, the page titles and descriptions Bandzoogle fills in switch with it, and so do the preview cards fans see when they share your tour page.
lang attribute, set to the selected languageBy default, every language uses your existing Bandzoogle address and the visitor's choice is remembered. For a separate, indexable page per language, SiteTran's Static Translation API returns translated HTML for an address you serve it from:
This needs your own domain, since Bandzoogle only submits custom domains to Google, and a small proxy or edge worker set up where your domain's DNS is managed. We'll help you plan it.
