Languages

Hi, Hei, Salut, Hoi, Hej!

Did you know your website is already fully prepared for different languages?This article explains how to prepare your website for multiple languages, noting that the necessary texts are already available.

You can activate additional languages through the Languages module in the Dashboard. Once enabled, you can add content and make it visible on the site. Tips for managing language settings and switching between languages are also provided.

If you want to use a language that is not already available, we can add it! We only have to properly translate thousands of pieces of texts and labels, so it might take a little while.


Getting started with Languages

All available languages for your website are available in the Dashboard. Go to Website > Languages:

Switch from 1 to 2 languages When adding a second language, please contact our support. The url structure of your website will change to make place for the language code in all URLs. We will have to clear a couple of caches for you.
  • To activate any other new language, enable it with the drop-down in the module. This will make the language fields available in your Dashboard, so you can start adding content in the new language.
  • When you are done, check the Visible box to activate the new language on your website.

All Visible languages are automatically shown in a drop-down menu at the top of your website navigation:

Adding Language Content in the Dashboard

Every translatable content field in the Dashboard will have a language switch on the top right when using multiple languages:

A multilingual field separated per language

Set this switch to ALL to expose all fields, or pick any of the available languages.

Top tip! You can switch all fields to any language all at the same time by using the general switch at the top left of the Dashboard. Or set it to ALL to display all fields in all languages at once
