Multi-Language Support
Viewing Your Site in Another Language
It's easy for your site visitors to view your site in any enabled language. On any screen, your developer can display a language drop-down list (circled in red below).
![]()
(For more information about the function used to display this, ecmShowSiteLanguage, see the Ektron CMS400.NET Developer's Manual.) On the sample site provided with Ektron CMS400.NET, this drop-down list appears in the lower right corner of the home page, but your developer can place it anywhere on any page.
Another way to indicate which language-edition of a content block to display is by adding the language parameter (langType) to the Quicklink. For example, products.aspx?LangType=1033 displays the English (US) edition of the products.aspx content block. This syntax automatically sets the language cookie.
NoteFor a list of the decimal values for each supported language, see Appendix A: List of Supported Languages.
What Happens if Chosen Language is Not Available
A visitor to your site uses one of the methods listed above to select a language. Ektron CMS400.NET uses the following criteria to determine which language edition to display for a content block.
- If an edition of the content block is available in the selected language, display that.
- If option 1 is not available, display an edition of the content in the default language (defined in the ek_DefaultContentLanguage variable in web.config).
NoteWhen Ektron CMS400.NET is installed, the default language is English. See Also: The Default Language
