# Edit and translate page URLs

By default, the page URL is the concatenation of

- Parent folders
- Page name

*~/page-builder-test/_a_big_fan_of_alpha/fans-page* is a page URL example.

When the URL from the site structure is not readable or good for SEO, the FORGE Page Builder for each page and folder lets you overwrite:

- The *Basic URL*(the language-independent URL)
- The language-related URL
- The name within the language-related *URL*

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:***index* pages only allow overwriting URLs, not the name — which must remain *index*.

Take a look at the below example, where

- The alias *~/fans-home* overwrites the *~/page-builder-test/_a_big_fan_of_alpha/fans-page* within the *Basic URL*
- In the English version
  - *The fans-home* name overwrites the *fans-page* name
  - The *~/fans-home* alias overwrites the URL
- In the French version
  - The*la-maison-des-fans* name overwrites the *fans-page* name
  - The *~/la-maison-des-fans* alias overwrites the URL

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Copied pages and folders have empty aliases and copied names, as the copy sources may have. When copying/pasting a page or folder, the copy process skips aliases but keeps names.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Copied pages and folders cannot have the same translated URLs as the copied sources. When copying/pasting a page or folder, **if the new page or folder is under the same parent folder as the source**, the pasted translated URLs gain a numbered suffix: e.g, *fans-home_1* or *la-maison-des-fans_1*.

## How to edit and translate the page URLs

To setup the URL aliases, take the following steps:

1. Select the *cog* icon in the top-right of the page, then select *URLs and Aliases*: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/16639799597340.png)
2. Depending on your needs, enter either the basic alias or aliases per language: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/16639844276124.png)
3. Select *Save settings* in the bottom-right to save aliases: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/10963499125916.png)
4. Confirm that you want to apply the aliases immediately on the front-end: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/10963506915612.png)
5. Once saved, to undo your changes and restore the original URL, select the undo button: ![](https://cdn.document360.io/2e698e3c-4773-44a4-9476-1d05bac85eee/Images/Documentation/16639844277916.png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:**URL alias updates of published folders and pages reflect immediately on the front-end. Beware that **you are changing a published page URL**.

## Double-checking your URL translations

After publishing your page, double-check your URL translations by taking the following steps:

1. Select a language, e.g., French (fr-FR) from the top-right corner of the page.
2. Select either View or Preview to see what the page looks like in the front-end.
3. Double-check the page URL.
