TYPO3 Multilingual Sites

TYPO3 can be configured to support multiple languages, whether each language has its own page tree or shares a common tree. Editing permissions make it easy to assign tasks to translators, who can see the default content alongside their translation as they work.

When a page or content item is not translated, the editor can specify whether the default language is shown or the content is hidden. Menus are adjusted automatically and, to enhance search engine optimization, language specific page names can be created.

Example multi-lingual TYPO3 sites include:

Webex.com uses TYPO3 to deliver content to 12 languages and regions
