Our company has worldwide customers, and we’d like to use discourse to set up a Q&A forum, does the frontend support multiple national languages? such as English, Chinese, etc.

Yes it supports a host of other languages. When you get your Discourse change this site setting: allow user locale this way, when the user goes to their preferences → Interface they can change the language. See this post to explain how to get there as a normal user: [image] Switch Language Support Hello! Go to: Your preferences Secondly, navigate to interface [image] Hit save!

Thanks, that’s good news for me. the i18n is a key feature I need :slight_smile: However this settings is not easy to discover when I first use Discourse, I suggest this can be put in outer layer so that it would be friendly for non-English users. Imagin that a non-English user first visit this site, and user would like to switch language quickly, however he/she need so many steps to change, that would be painful.
