2 language site

[apoiata]

Hi,

I searched the knowledge base but I am totally lost. Please help.

I would like to post an article in English but have the same post in additional language. I will translate it by myself (I am not confident in AI translation and it is limited by time, old articles will not be translated according documentation).

So the scenario will be the following: user open an article in English, it has to be a button or some way on the interface to switch to another language and the article which I will translate should substitute article in English. Interface language can remain English but it will be nice also to switch.

Thanks

Enabling the subsequent setting Content localization language switcher also allows you to make your community more accessible to non-logged-in users by showing the list of languages you’ve chosen in the list of supported locales:

Viewing localized content

Localized welcome topic on meta.discourse.org

For viewers of localized content (all site visitors), they may cursor over the indicator next to the post’s date to view the original language of the post. This indicator only shows up if the post is not in their language.

If a user wishes to only see original content, they may use the toggle above the topic timeline to disable localizations for the whole site.
