Choose languages to publish

Languages in Maglr are set at two levels. First you activate the languages your account uses in General settings. Then each project gets one of those active languages, which you choose when you create the project and can change later in the project settings.

Activating languages for your account

To make a language available for your projects, activate it in General settings. Only users with access to General settings, usually Super admins, can change the account languages.

1. In the top menu, open Settings and click General settings.
2. Scroll down to the Language settings section. The languages are listed under the heading "Languages".
3. Tick the checkbox of each language you want to use for your projects. For example, to create projects in both English and French, tick English and French.

4. Click Save settings at the top right of the page.

Choosing a project's language

Each project has one language. Only languages that are activated in General settings appear as options.

Choosing the language when you create a project

1. Click Create new project and choose a template as usual.
2. In the "Select the pages" step, choose a language in the Language project dropdown.
3. Click Create project.

The Language project dropdown only appears when two or more languages are active for your account. It is preselected with your team's default language, if one is set. With only one active language, every new project gets that language automatically.

Changing the language of an existing project

1. Open the project settings: click Project settings in the project's page overview, or click Settings in the project's menu on the Projects overview.
2. On the Basic information tab, choose a language under Language.
3. Save the project settings.

Deactivating a language

You can only untick a language in General settings when nothing uses it anymore. While a language is in use, its checkbox is greyed out and shows a numbered tag:

• 1: one or more projects use this language. This includes inactive and archived projects; only deleted projects don't count.
• 2: this language is the Main language of a domain.

To deactivate a language:

1. Change the language of every project that uses it, including inactive and archived projects (see "Changing the language of an existing project").
2. If the language is the Main language of a domain, choose another Main language in that domain's settings (section "Statistics & integration").
3. In the top menu, open Settings and click General settings.
4. Untick the language.
5. Click Save settings.

Languages on your published projects

A published project shows its navigation environment texts, such as the overview page title, the search and share pop-ups and the cookie consent text, in the project's language. If projects in more than one language are on the same domain, Maglr automatically adds a language switch to the overview page. The domain's Main language decides which language visitors see first when they open the root URL or overview.

You can edit the navigation environment texts for each active language in the Texts tab of the navigation environment settings. The tab has a separate sub-tab for every active language. For details, see Change the texts in your navigation environment.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't I untick a language in General settings?

A language can't be deactivated while it is in use, so its checkbox is greyed out. The tag next to it tells you why: 1 means one or more projects use the language, including inactive and archived projects, and 2 means it is the Main language of a domain. Depending on the tag, change those projects to another language, choose another Main language for the domain, or both. Then untick the language and click Save settings.

Can one project have several languages?

No. Each project has exactly one language. To publish the same content in several languages, create a separate project for each language. If those projects are on the same domain, Maglr automatically adds a language switch to the overview page.

Why don't I see a language option when I create a project?

The Language project dropdown in the "Select the pages" step only appears when two or more languages are active for your account. With one active language, new projects get that language automatically. To add more languages, activate them under Settings > General settings.

Who can change the languages for my account?

Only users with access to General settings, usually Super admins, can activate or deactivate the account languages.
