Hello the community !!!  
I am from France so excuse my poor speaking 😑

I have a discourse with categories and sub-cat.  
I would like to keep this structure and let people to choose the language to read.  
I would like to know if there is a plugin to add one or two more languages on my discourse ?

If not, what is the way to have one or two more languages ?

I have think of making 2 main ‘parent categorie’ : one for ‘french contributors’ and one for ‘english contributors’ and inside these ‘parent catégories’ I would paste the same structure of sub-catégories.

Is this the easiest way ?  
Thank you for your interest and your answers.

Yves

It boils down to which you prefer. Using the same instance, you can

1. Create individual categories that are language-specific as you’ve described, or
2. Use the `set locale from accept language header` site setting to have to your users register on the site with the locale their browser is set to.

I see you already asked a question over at [Structuring a multilingual community - #34 by Yves\_Lauzin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-structure-a-multilingual-community/73225/34), so no need to mention that post again.

Thanks,

solution 2 will be sufficient for contributors to be able to read the Categories and sub cat and subjects in their own language ?

my question at [https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-structure-a-multilingual-community/73225/34](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-structure-a-multilingual-community/73225/34)  
was about the site in example, because it seems that ‘other languages’ is a main catégory with sub-categories ; french, english, deutsch…  
So I wanted to know…  
Best regards

Yves

Yes, if the translation for that language is sufficient enough, they should be able to use the community. Please see [Crowdin Enterprise](https://translate.discourse.org/discourse) for details on our translated languages.
