Say you run a taverna in Chania. Your Instagram captions are in Greek. Your Google reviews are in Greek. Your customers speak Greek. Then you sign up for a website builder and it hands you an English template, an English contact form, and a translation chore that never quite gets finished. The header says “Our Services” forever.
SPACEBAR doesn't do that. Paste your profile and the site comes back in Greek, because Greek is the language your business already speaks. There is no language dropdown in the wizard. There is nothing to flip. The site simply arrives in the right language, top to bottom.
Detection starts at your profile
When you paste an Instagram, Facebook Page, or Google Business profile, SPACEBAR scrapes it and reads what's actually there: your bio, your posts, your reviews. The same AI pass that writes your copy also determines the language of that material and stores it on your site as a standard BCP-47 tag, like el for Greek or ar for Arabic.
Note what it doesn't do. It doesn't guess from your browser settings, your account email, or your IP address. Those tell us about the person setting up the site, not the audience reading it. The language of your published content is the only signal that matters, so that's the one we use.
Every word, including the headings
All the copy on a generated site is written in the detected language: the hero, the about section, the service descriptions. The copy is grounded in your real reviews, and since your customers wrote those reviews in your language, the site sounds like your business rather than a translation of someone else's.
The subtle part is the section headings. Templates ship with built-in headings, and those are written in English. On most builders, that's what leaks through: a beautifully localized page with “Frequently Asked Questions” stamped in the middle of it. SPACEBAR treats the template's headings as fallbacks, not final copy. The AI writes its own heading for each section family it fills, in your language, and overlays it on the template. The taverna gets a Greek menu heading and a Greek contact heading without anyone typing them.
Those headings survive edits, too. Switch templates later and your localized headings carry over with the rest of your content.
Right-to-left, without a toggle
If your profile is in Arabic or Hebrew, the layout has to mirror, not just the text. SPACEBAR sets dir="rtl"on the page's root element, so the whole document flows right-to-left the way the browser intends. This works because every published site gets its own document root, with its own language and direction, instead of being wedged into a shell built for English.
The parts only machines read
Visitors see the copy. Crawlers see the metadata, and it has to agree with the copy or you lose the benefit. On every published site, the detected language drives three signals at once:
- The
langattribute on the<html>element, so browsers, screen readers, and search engines know what they're parsing. - The Open Graph locale, so a link shared to Facebook or WhatsApp renders its preview correctly.
inLanguageon the site's LocalBusiness structured data, so the page's JSON-LD tells search engines the same story the text does.
One detection, three consistent declarations. You never see any of this, which is the point. It's also the part that's easiest to get wrong by hand and the part almost nobody checks.
And one setting, if you want it
Auto-detection should be a default, not a cage. The language lives as a field in your site settings, so if you want something different, change it. Maybe your taverna's profile is in Greek but your customers are mostly tourists, and you'd rather present the site in English. Set the language and the declared metadata follows; rewrite the copy in the editor at your own pace, or lean on the generated draft as a starting point.
For everyone else, the right answer is the one that requires no decision at all. Your business already told us its language. We listened.
