Languages on Cover
If you have content in multiple languages, you can create a "combined language" PDF. A combined language PDF has your content in multiple languages all in the same PDF file.
For example, If the single PDF includes English, German and Spanish translations, you can choose to add the languages on the front cover.
If you choose to add the languages, you can get the front cover to show:
-
A list of the included languages (for combined language PDFs)
-
The name of the language (for single language PDFs).
Tip
Paligo also have settings that let you add the title and subtitle in multiple languages, see Multi-Language Preferences (PDF).
To add a language list to the front cover of a PDF:
-
Select Layout in the top menu.
-
Select the Layout you want to update or Create a Layout.
Tip
You can copy the URL of the Layout Editor and paste it into a new tab in your browser. This can be useful if you frequently switch between your Paligo content and the Layout settings.
