Can we change the platform's default language or add new languages?
The default language is set when the platform is created and cannot be changed later. You can add other languages at any time.
Why can't the default language be changed?
The default language is the base of every content on the platform: all texts are created in it first, and the other languages are translations of it. Changing it afterwards could break how many types of content are displayed, so it is not possible.
Which languages are available?
English, Portuguese (Portugal), Spanish, French, Italian and German.
How do I add a language?
In the Backoffice, go to Settings > Languages.
Click Add and choose the language.
You need the Admin or Platform Settings Manager role.
What happens to existing content?
The new language becomes available in all content, new and old. Existing texts are not translated automatically when you add a language: until someone translates them, users who choose the new language see the text in the original language.
Can I remove a language?
Yes, except the default language. Removing a language deletes every translation in that language, and it cannot be undone.
