Manage frontend languages

The "Frontend Languages" module allows you to offer translations of your website into other languages.

If you create a language here, each multilingual form in the backend will be updated and you can enter the respective description, name (etc.) in another language. In the frontend you simply switch to the new language and fill it with content.

This function is available in the following packages:

wisy base

wisy advanced

wisy pro

wisy expert

 

The only exceptions are status messages from wisy, which are currently only available in German and English. If you would like them translated, please contact us.

At least one language (the default language) is required to display a website. Therefore, the default language cannot be deleted or edited. To use the default language, you must first select another default language in the Settings.
