Creating a Language

Language profiles are used by Website Manager to identify which content is delivered in an end user experience, especially when localized versions of a website are available. The website experience must have at least one language profile defined in Website Manager before content can be added. When more than one language profile is created one of the languages is set as the default.

Note: The default language is displayed when Website Manager does not have a language profile that matches the information from the viewer's browser, or the viewer's privacy settings do not allow this information to be relayed.

The language profile creates an association (or link) to the language folder and content stored on the webserver. The association is used by Website Manager to deliver the correct content when the webpages are assembled.

Before creating a language you will need to create a sub folder on the web server in the review\content folder. Ensure you name the folder using the language's two letter locale code. If you are not sure of the code check the Locale drop-down list.

To Create a Language Profile:

1. Open the Content screen.
2. Choose New Language. The language details form is opened.
3. Select the language from the Locale drop-down list. The language name and path to the folder on the web server are updated.
4. Choose Save. A new tab is created for the language, and the Add Pages tab is opened with a confirmation message.
