Translating your Jimdo website and making it multilingual can be a complex, painstaking process. The platform doesn’t offer a high-quality native or official solution, so users have to manually re-type all the pages and articles on their in their target language(s).
This is, of course, not very efficient, and it can be incredibly time-consuming.
