Create and edit multilingual content in emails

When you're editing a marketing email, you can change the language in the email's settings to translate the default content of your email for any default HubSpot modules, as well as the subscription links in the footer of your email.

If you have a Marketing Hub Starter, Professional, or Enterprise account, you can create and manage translations for email subscription types in your account settings.

Edit the language of default modules in an email

To edit the language of your email's default modules and subscription links:

• In your HubSpot account, navigate to Marketing > Marketing Email.
• Click the name of a drafted email to edit it, or click Create email in the top right to create a new email.
• Click the Settings tab.
• Click the Language dropdown menu, then select one of HubSpot's supported languages.

You can add translations for an existing email subscription type in your email settings.
