Setting up languages
A site defines its languages in its site configuration. When you create a page on the root level of the page tree, TYPO3 creates a site configuration for it. This configuration has one language, English, as the default language. Add the other languages of the website to it.
Adding languages in the Sites module
Add the languages of a site in the Sites > Setup module, on the Languages tab of the site configuration.
A site with English as the default language, Español, and العربية
Tip
Adding languages in TYPO3 Explained describes the properties of a language.
As soon as a site has a second language, you can translate its pages and content. The Content > Records module shows the translations of a page in the languages that you check in its language menu, at the top right of the module. For each of these languages, it shows the following:
- The translation of the page, below Page Translation.
- A button in the column Localize to, which translates a content element into the language. The column offers the languages that the page has a translation in.
- The translation of a content element, below the element.
