Check the same language on the public website after publishing. On items with Save rather than Publish changes, saving can update the live website immediately.

Some facts are shared between languages. A manually added property’s reference, price, dimensions and location change in every language; its title and descriptions have separate translations.

An empty translation can show English fallback text. Also, the editor’s language list can include languages your website does not serve. Contact Propelos if you want to make another language available to visitors.
