Xperience websites can host content in multiple languages (cultures), which allows your content to reach a wider audience. Multilingual websites have separate versions of pages for each language. The system allows you to offer culture versions of the website to visitors based on various settings.
You can find a list of available cultures in the Localization application on the Cultures tab. All major cultures are provided by default. You can assign cultures to websites and then translate the content to the respective languages.
