# Translating pages {#page-translations}

In order to translate a page in the page tree, create a
copy of it with a new language relation. Use the module **Page** and on the top of the right side
**Language Comparison** and the lower dropdown **Create a new translation of this page**.
As soon as you choose a language of this dropdown the translation process will start with the copy of this page.

The page copy will be generated in the default language with page property fields like `title` or `description` prefixed by a text similar to "\[Translate to Language X:\]".
The translated content needs to be put here, replacing the placeholder text (including the prefix and
the copied default language contents).

Select the **Language Comparison** function in the upper menu bar of the
**Content > Page** module. Then use the select box to create a new
translation of the page:

![Create a new translation of the page](../Images/ManualScreenshots/Record/CreateNewTranslationOfPage.png)

The form with the fields for the translated page will then be displayed:

![Editing the page fields for an alternative page language](../Images/ManualScreenshots/Record/AlternativePageLanguage.png)

Most of the fields are the same as for the page of the default language. Below
the fields the content of the default language is shown.

As long as a page has no translated page record,
its contents cannot be translated, no matter how many system languages
have been defined.
