{{Chunk30:Help_screen_Quick_Tips_Header/en}} *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 Frontend. 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 Frontend. *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 Frontend and Backend. *Additional Languages can be added using the Install Languages Screen. *If desired, you can show the Frontend site in one Language and show the Backend administration pages in a different Language. Also, individual articles can be configured to use a different language in the Sidebar when editing the Article.
