After the site administrator has specified cultures for a website, the content editors can begin to translate the content (web pages) or assign the translation to translation services.
When you open the Pages application on a multilingual website, you can see the language selector below the content tree. Use the selector to switch between language versions of the currently selected page.
You can also click Compare to edit language versions side-by-side.
The following example shows how to manually translate a page into the French language:
Open the Pages application.
Select the root page in the content tree and switch to the French culture. Since the French version of the page does not exist yet, you can create it through one of the following ways:
Choose to Copy content from another language.
Select English - United States.
Click Create page.
The French version of the root page has now been created. You can now translate other pages on the website:
You can modify the content of a page's editable regions to be different for each specific language version. It is also possible to translate the content entered on a page's Form tab, and even assign culture specific values for many of the page's Properties.
If you view the page on the live site, you can see the French version.
You can switch between languages using the language selection links at the top right of the website header. The links are displayed automatically using the Language selection with flags web part.
Creating content for another language
When adding a new language to the website, please be sure to always create a language version for at least the root page and the default home page. Otherwise, the system cannot display the site correctly.
In the Pages application, the content tree displays the Not translated page (
) status icon next to pages that do not exist in the selected culture.
You can configure websites to display content from the default language for pages that are not available in the selected language.
Now you can sign out and view the French version of the live website again. Pages that are not available in French are displayed in the default culture (English).
