Application languages
Which languages the website appears in is decided in the editor's Settings, on the Site → Languages tab: this is where you set the Primary language and the Additional languages. Adding a language does not translate the content, and a removed language keeps its translations, so you can switch it back on later.
Setting the languages
- Sign in to the editor (with Edit site on the application's page) and open Settings with the Site settings ↗ link.
- In the Site group, pick the Languages tab.
- In Primary language, choose the site's main language. Visitors get this language first.
- Under Additional languages, tick the other languages you want to publish content in.
- Click Save languages.
What happens when you save?
- A new language – every page gets an empty version in it, under its own address prefix (for example /de/about). Existing content is not translated: the versions still need filling in (see: Editing multilingual content).
- A removed language – before saving, the tab warns you which languages will disappear. The language goes from the live site, but its translations are not deleted and come back if you add it again.
- A new primary language – the addresses without a prefix move to the new language, the previous primary language gets its own prefix, and menus and redirects follow automatically.
The editor's own language
The editor is shown in the primary language by default. The Admin language selector in the Settings header switches it to another of the site's languages.
You also pick the languages when you launch the application; Demona's AI assistant can change them too, with your approval.
