Hello,
Currently, it is not possible to customize the URL slugs for each language version of our site on Wix. As a result, while our primary site language is Japanese, the URL slugs for our English and French versions also appear in Japanese. This has affected our site ninjutsukyoto.com, as it is not being indexed correctly by Google for English and French languages.
We hope this feature will be implemented soon to improve multilingual SEO on Wix.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards
Subject: Urgent: Missing Feature for Local URL Customization on Wix - Impact on International SEO
Dear Wix Users and E-commerce Professionals,
We wish to bring your attention to a significant issue persisting on the Wix platform, which severely impacts international SEO and the visibility of multilingual sites: the absence of a feature allowing the customization of local URLs for each language version of a Wix site.
Despite recent improvements and the introduction of AI-driven features aimed at enhancing site design and content, Wix continues to lack this essential capability. Currently, it is not possible to customize the URL of a page for each language version.
This limitation hinders optimal management of multilingual sites, significantly reducing our ability to rank appropriately in search engine results across different countries. This gap jeopardizes our SEO strategies and international digital marketing efforts, which is particularly detrimental for e-commerce sites.
As the owner of the site NinjutsuKyoto.com, we are compelled to point out that Wix, in the absence of this crucial feature, is not optimized for international online sales. We strongly encourage you to consider platforms like Shopify, which offer greater flexibility in URL customization, robust SEO features, and better multilingual management.
We invite you to join this discussion to express your concerns to Wix and sincerely hope that this feature will be integrated in upcoming updates.
It is high time Wix addresses the needs of international e-commerce professionals. It is imperative that they enhance the visibility of our sites.
Thank you for your attention and support.
Sincerely,
What do you mean by the URL slugs appearing in Japanese?
They seem to be ‘en’ and ‘fr’

Hi Jérôme,
Can you express what your are exactly waiting for, as your code is pointing out to - what is supposed to be - correct urls:
<link rel="alternate" href="https://www.ninjutsukyoto.com/" hreflang="x-default"/>
<link rel="alternate" href="https://www.ninjutsukyoto.com/en" hreflang="en-us"/>
<link rel="alternate" href="https://www.ninjutsukyoto.com/fr" hreflang="fr-fr"/>
<link rel="alternate" href="https://www.ninjutsukyoto.com/" hreflang="ja-jp"/>
I am also facing problems with the multilingual url customization on Wix, but not such as this one which, to me, seems correct → Have a look at Google specs on this hreflang matter.
Thank you,
Guillaume
