Activate Languages
To enable or disable a language, it must first be activated to appear in the Languages tab. The instruction below shows how the administrator makes a language available in your Paligo instance.
We strongly recommend that you activate each language dialect because they have different expressions and spelling. For example, if you are going to translate to American English (en-us) and British English (en-gb), you have to activate both dialects as these are two different versions of the same language. Otherwise, you will only have a generic English translation of your content.
Once a language is activated, you need to add it to your publications and topics to be able to use it with your content, see Add a Language to a Publication or Topic
Tip
If you have a requirement to use four-letter language codes from your translation provider requires it, you can change the default language code by clicking on the language to edit it, see Create Additional Languages.
For example, you can have a Chinese (simplified) language with ZH-CHS and a Chinese (traditional) with ZH-CHT.
