Languages
Page: Settings >> Country Settings >> Languages
On this page, you can prepare the languages for the Web site and administration areas. For an introduction to this, see
Language Dependencies,
above.
The table lists all the languages you have activated for the Web site. The appropriate countries are automatically displayed with the language.
For each country, clicking the

icon will display the specific formats which must be observed while entering information.
Using the checkbox in the Visible column, you can set whether the country is displayed for selection on the Web site.
Use the option button in the Default column to set the default language for the Web site. An entry must be set to visible before it can be made to the default.
Save your entries by clicking Save.
To activate a new language, select it from the drop-down menu at the end of the table and confirm with Save.
Note:
The languages listed in the drop-down menu are part of the installation. If you need additional languages, contact your provider.
Before you can deactivate a language, you must make sure that none of the associated countries are set to
Default and that all associated countries are set to
Not visible. Once these requirements are fulfilled, you can deactivate the language as described in
Deleting entries,
above. The language will still be available in the drop-down menu.
Note:
Note that for language-dependent fields, a translation can no longer be displayed if you delete the corresponding language.
Caution
: You must make sure you create and manage all the text for the product data and its associated contents in the relevant languages. As soon as you have activated an additional language, check all the objects (products, categories, and so on) for language-dependent fields and enter the translation. If the text data does not exist in the corresponding languages, it cannot be displayed.
If you have set up more than one language for your Web site, you can offer your visitors the option of selecting a preferred language. A corresponding page element is available for this. For more on working with page elements, see
Page elements and navigation,
below.
