Invitation language preview

See one sample invitation in every language InviteVia supports — without changing your own language setting.

InviteVia renders its invitation pages in 19 languages, and the RSVP form, the dress-code label, the schedule heading and the buttons are all translated with them. This page shows one sample invitation so you can check how a language reads before you pick it for your own event.

The selector below changes only the sample on this page. It does not change the site's language, the URL, the language cookie or your saved preference — the rest of the site stays exactly as it was.

Made with InviteVia

Sample only — your own invitation shows your title, host names, date and venue.

What to look for

  • Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew) mirror the sample only — the heading, the details and the RSVP block all flip inside this box.
  • German and Finnish strings are noticeably longer than their English equivalents, which is where a tight button label starts to wrap.
  • Chinese, Japanese and Korean glyphs are wider per character, so the same sentence can take fewer lines but a wider box.

How to use it

  1. 1Pick a language from the selector above the sample. The invitation updates immediately, in place.
  2. 2Check the hard cases: Arabic and Hebrew are laid out right to left, German and Finnish strings run longer than their English equivalents, and Chinese, Japanese and Korean use different glyph widths.
  3. 3Read the RSVP labels as a guest would. Those are the strings a guest actually interacts with, and they are the ones that read badly if a translation is rushed.
  4. 4When you create an invitation, the event's language follows the site language you had selected at that moment — this preview is only a sample.

How the maths works

Every string in the sample comes from the shipped message catalogs the real invitation page uses, not from a separate set of preview translations. The sample reads the same keys as the invitation renderer, so a wording change in the product shows up here too.

Language switching on this page is local component state. The site's language switcher, the NEXT_LOCALE cookie and the locale in the URL are untouched, and nothing navigates or reloads. The sample is isolated in its own element with its own `lang` and `dir` attributes, so a right-to-left language cannot leak into the rest of the page.

Fonts are the ones the site already loads. Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Devanagari, Chinese, Japanese and Korean text falls back through the browser's own font stack, because no additional web font is downloaded for this page.

  • One sample invitation, rendered per language
  • Right-to-left layout scoped to the sample only
  • No language change to the site, the URL or the cookie
  • No additional font downloads

The preview is deliberately a sample rather than a live invitation: your own event title, host names, date and venue are what a guest sees, and those stay in whatever language you type them.

Frequently asked questions

Does switching the preview change my site language?

No. The selector changes only the sample invitation on this page. Your site language, the URL and the language cookie are untouched, and the page does not navigate or reload.

Which languages can I preview?

All 19 languages the app supports: English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese.

Which languages are right-to-left?

Arabic and Hebrew. The sample sets its own text direction for those two languages, so the layout flips inside the preview only — the page around it stays in your own direction.

Are the translations on this page the real product strings?

Yes. They are read from the same message catalogs the invitation page and RSVP form render. Nothing is machine-translated for the preview, and if a string is missing from a catalog it falls back to English rather than showing a raw key.

Does the preview load extra fonts?

No. It uses the font families the site already ships and lets the browser fall back through its own stack for scripts those families do not cover. That keeps the page light, at the cost of a slightly different glyph style in some scripts.

Ready to send the invitation itself?

InviteVia turns your plan into a digital invitation with RSVP collection, guest messaging and a link you can share or print as a QR code.

These figures are planning rules of thumb, not quotes or guarantees. Rates are editable defaults, and your venue or caterer may use different ones — treat the output as a starting point for a conversation. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
