Toolbar[edit]

At the top left you will see the toolbar:

File:Help30-New-Edit-Publish-Unpublish-Trash-Options-Help-toolbar.png

The functions are:

<translate>

  • New. Opens the editing screen to create a new content language.</translate>

<translate>

  • Edit. Opens the editing screen for the selected content language. If more than one content language is selected (where applicable), only the first content language will be opened. The editing screen can also be opened by clicking on the Name of the content language.</translate>

<translate>

  • Publish. Makes the selected content languages available to visitors to your website.</translate>

<translate>

  • Unpublish. Makes the selected content languages unavailable to visitors to your website.</translate>

<translate>

  • Trash. Changes the status of the selected content languages to indicate that they are trashed. Trashed content languages can still be recovered by selecting 'Trashed' in the 'Select Status' filter and changing the status of the content languages to Published or Unpublished as preferred. To permanently delete trashed content languages, select 'Trashed' in the 'Select Status' filter, select the content languages to be permanently deleted, then click the 'Empty Trash' toolbar icon.</translate>

<translate>

  • Options. Opens the Options window where settings such as default parameters can be edited.</translate>

<translate>

  • Help. Opens this help screen.</translate>

  • Installed. Shows the Languages available for the Front-end of the web site or administrator area, depending on the filter location at left that is current. See Extensions Language Manager Installed.
  • Content. Shows the Content Languages available for the web site.

List Filters[edit]

Filter by Partial Title

You can filter the list of items either by typing part of the title or the ID number.

File:Help30-Extensions-Language-Manager-filter-name-subscreen.png

If you have a large number of items on the list, you can use this filter to find the desired item(s) quickly. Enter either part of the title or an ID number and press 'Search' to display the matching items. You can type whole words or part of a word. For example, "ooml" will match all titles with the word "Joomla!" in them.

Quick Tips[edit]

  • Users can use any Language from the list of installed Languages, either by having it assigned in the User Manager or by filling out a Menu Item Manager - New/Edit - User Form Layout at the Front end. This will cause the Joomla! system prompts to be generated in this Language just for this User. For example, if a User chooses Spanish as their language, then the Search Module will show with prompts in Spanish.
  • This User's choice is not affected by the Default Language set for the Front-end.
  • Changing a User's Language or the Default Language does not affect the web site's Articles and other content.
  • Important: Do not delete the default language files (for example, with FTP). This will create errors on both the Front-end and Back-end.
  • If desired, you can show the Front-end site in one Language and show the Back-end administration pages in a different Language. Also, individual articles can be configured to use a different language in the Advanced Parameter pane when editing the Article.
