First go to the "Pages" menu and start to translate and change the name of each page. You have to rename the last part of the URL, too. Find the URL at the "Page" tab on the right side. For the URL just exchange the last part, use a "-" instead of a space and just use characters a-z (lower case) and letters 1-9.

When you are in "Pages" menu you can hover over each page name and you will find the link "Beaver Builder" directly below the page name. Press it to get into the editor and you will be able to translate and change the whole content.  
If you want, we can provide you with a machine translation into your language and you "just" have to proofread the content.

When you finished translating everything we can put the website into live status. We just have to map the Top Level Domain (TLD) - like biomoto.de instead of de.biomoto-international.com - to the site.
