What is Language Fallback?
What renders when a translation is missing — typically the source text — keeping pages whole rather than blank.
In more depth
Graceful fallback plus lazy translation means new content is never broken, just briefly untranslated.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Language Fallback helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
