Change project language

Every project has one language, which you can change in the project's Project settings. The project language decides:

• Interface language: the language of the project's interface on the published site, such as the side menu and buttons.
• Overview page: the language the project is listed under on the overview page. When a domain has projects in more than one language, the overview page shows a language switch. Micro content projects aren't listed on the overview page.

The Language list only shows the languages enabled for your account. To add a language, see Choose the languages you publish in.

Changing a project's language

To change the language of an existing project:

1. Open the project from the projects overview.
2. In the left sidebar of the page overview, click Project settings.
3. On the Basic information tab, open the Language dropdown.

4. Select the language.
5. Click Save.

You can also open the same settings from the projects overview: on the project's tile, hover over the ... button and choose Settings.

Setting the language when creating a project

If your account has more than one language enabled, you choose the project's language when you create the project, in the Language project dropdown. You can change it later in the project's Project settings.

When does the overview page show a language switch?

The overview page shows a language switch when a domain has projects in more than one language. Each project on the overview page is listed under the language set in its Project settings. Micro content projects aren't listed on the overview page.
