Site opens in a foreign language

← Back

The language is determined by the visitor's country (and region rules) and browser settings, and the choice is remembered for a year.

On the first visit, the engine looks at the country by IP address, then at the browser settings. Then it remembers the visitor's choice for a year — so your site may open differently for you than for a colleague from another country.

For specific regions of a country, the language can be set by an exception: in the settings of the language switcher informer (the "Module settings" button in its window), the "Exception rules" field, for example UA: Crimea, Sevastopol = ru. The rule applies only on the first visit and only for languages enabled on the site.

To check how others see the site, switch the language in the menu or open the address with a prefix directly: /en/ — English version, address without prefix — base language.

Tips for working with the builder

The "Help" section is made for those who are building a website on "Pervaya Liniya" for the first time. It contains answers to common questions: how to create a website, what to write in the fields, how to edit texts and photos, how to connect your own domain, and how to set up sections. The materials will help you figure things out without contacting support.

The builder is simple: you fill in the fields on the creation page, and then edit the content directly on the finished website. If something does not work or is unclear, check the relevant help item. The instructions are written in plain language and describe every step.

In Help you will find answers to questions:

  • how to come up with a website address and what to do if the name is taken;
  • how to change the title, description, and other texts on the page;
  • how to add products, services, or request forms;
  • how to connect your own domain instead of an address on firstline.com.ua;
  • how to set up sections and modules for your business needs.

If you cannot find the answer you need, use the feedback form — we will help you figure it out. The section is updated so that you can always find current information about working with the builder.
