If you have a website that has a multilingual target audience, then it is important that your cookie consent banner is also available in multiple languages. You can display a multilingual cookie consent banner with the CookieYes cookie consent solution.
> **Note:**
> This feature is only available for sites with an **active** **Paid** **Plan** (Basic, Pro, Ultimate).
>
**To get started with CookieYes, **[**create your account and try it for free**](https://app.cookieyes.com/trial?plan=pro-monthly&ref=multilingual_banner)**.**
After you sign up, you will be directed to a setup screen. During the setup, you will be able to select the **Default Language** of your cookie banner.
Your default language is the one in which your cookie banner will be displayed in when users have not set a language preference.
To implement a multilingual banner that is auto-translated as per your visitor’s preferred language, follow the steps below.
## Cookie banner for multilingual websites
**Step 1:** From the top navigation panel of your CookieYes account, select **Languages**.
**Step 2:** You can see the default language you have selected. You can click on the **+Add Language** to add other languages you want your cookie banner to be displayed in.
**Step 3:** You can select all the languages you need and then click on **Add**.
**Step 4:** Once you’ve added the required languages, you will see them listed here. You can click on **Edit** **Content** to change/adapt the content of your cookie banner in that language.
**Step 5:** On the new screen, you can see your Default Language on the left side and the language you want to **Edit content** in on the right side. You can then edit the content of the auto-translated text under Cookie Notice, Preference Center, Cookie List, Revisit Consent Button and Blocked Content. Additionally, you can add the URL of the translated cookie policy page under the **Edit content** section of the **Cookie** **Notice**.
> **Note:**
> CookieYes features 41 languages with in-built auto-translated content. You can use the default translation provided or customise the content.
>
**Step 6:** You can then enable **Banner** **Preview** on top and you will be able to preview the banner on your website (as shown below).
**Step 7:** When you have made all the required edits, you can click on **Save & Publish** to save these changes.
## Advanced Configurations
The auto-translation works based on the `lang` attributes in the tag. In case your website does not have a `lang` attribute, you can manually assign the language by following the steps below.
You can add the language inside the script tag, which will override both the default language and auto-detection. If you need the default language to be anything other than "en" (English), you can enter the desired 2-character language code instead.
```js
```
This snippet should be added above the cookieyes script.
> **Note:**
> This feature is available only for users on the **Basic**, **Pro** and **Ultimate** plans.
>
Example: To display the French banner on `https://example.com/fr` and the English banner on `https://example.com/` , the above snippet can be modified as follows:
```js
```
This will set the language as French for `https://example.com/fr`. For ` https://example.com`, the English banner is shown by default as per the customer’s choice. You can set the conditions as per requirement prior to setting the language.
You have now enabled a multilingual cookie banner for your website!
