In short. Wix shares page-type SEO Settings across languages and lets you edit individual page SEO Basics settings for each language version.
Definition: Yes. Wix says that changes made in SEO Settings apply automatically to related pages in all site languages. You can still edit the SEO Basics settings of an individual page for each language version.
Key facts
- Wix's SEO Settings for Multilingual Sites says that changes affect related pages regardless of their language, including Product pages and Site pages.
- The same documentation says that Wix Multilingual applies SEO Settings changes to all languages automatically after you save them.
- The article also says that you can customize the SEO Basics settings of individual pages for every version of your site.
- Wix's SEO settings documentation describes page-type settings as rules for multiple pages and individual-page settings as overrides for pages that need different rules.
Which settings are shared across languages?
Wix separates settings for a page type from settings for one page. In the dashboard, a page type can include Main pages, Wix Stores products, Wix Events pages, Wix Blog posts, Wix Portfolio projects and collections, or Online Programs. Wix automatically creates default SEO settings for pages according to their type, such as Products or Main pages.
The page-type editor can contain the title tag, meta description, indexability control, social share fields, structured data markup, additional meta tags, and, for some types, a URL structure. Wix says that static text applies the same value to every page in the selected type, while variables create rules with different values for each section or page.
Where do language-specific edits happen?
The multilingual article distinguishes the shared SEO Settings from the SEO Basics settings of individual pages. That page-level editing is the place for a title tag or meta description that should differ between language versions of one page. Wix's settings guide says that the individual-page editor can change a page's URL slug ending, title tag, meta description, and ability to be indexed. It also lists separate tabs for Basics, Advanced, and Social share.
Use the dashboard path described in Wix's documentation:
SEO & GEO > Tools and settings > SEO Settings > page type > Edit by Page
The tab name can depend on the page type, such as Edit by Product or Edit by Post. Wix's multilingual guidance also says that Wix adds hreflang tags by default so search engines can identify a page's language and show the appropriate version to visitors.
What happens when a page needs a different rule?
Wix says that page-type SEO Settings can be overridden for specific Wix app pages. Its documented override list includes Product Pages, Site Pages, Event Pages, Blog Post Pages, and Blog Category Pages. The editor workflow is to open the relevant page, choose SEO basics, edit the page's settings, and publish the site. A field can be returned to its default with the Reset to Default control.
This override model means that a shared page-type edit and a language-specific page edit are separate layers. A shared edit changes the pattern for the related pages and languages covered by the setting. An individual-page edit supplies a different value where Wix exposes that page-level control. Wix does not state in the multilingual article how every advanced setting behaves when a page-level language edit is made, so the documented behavior is limited to the shared settings and the individual SEO Basics workflow it names.
