Multilingual Content

Multiple language versions are supported in dotCMS.  Back-end users can contribute Content in multiple language versions and front end users may have the option of viewing content in the supported languages.  To add another Content language version to dotCMS, first click on the "Dictionaries" link under the "CMS Admin" tab.

Then, in the Language Variable Manager, click on the "Add New Language Link"

Enter the two character "Language Code" and "Country Code" and then fill out the complete descriptive name of the Language and Country being represented as in the image below.

After saving the new language, open/search for/create a piece of Content on any Structure and you will notice that the new language flag icon will now be displayed.  When adding or editing Content click on the flag icon to the right of the "Viewing Language" field to enter Content in that language.
