Manage site localization

Portal sites can be localized into multiple languages. One site can have multiple localized versions. Xpand Portal provides various tools to handle different aspects of localization:

• Built-in localization tool for site content configuration – This functionality is used to localize various configurable captions, such as field captions, titles, subtitles, and email and subscription notification templates.
• Portal dictionary – This tool is used to customize and localize various back-end and front-end text constants, such as captions, messages, tooltips, etc., including non-configurable elements.
• Translation Manager extension (optional) – An Umbraco extension that can be used to create, manage, and publish translated content. For details on this extension, refer to the Umbraco documentation.

Before using any of the tools listed above, you must first add a localization language to your portal. Once you have more than one localization on your portal, and localized site versions are configured, members can change the language on the sign-in page or on the header.
