multiple languages

Sitecake lets you switch the interface language for icons, labels, and messages. At the moment, 15 languages are supported.

  • Czech (cs)
  • Danish (dk)
  • Dutch (nl)
  • English (en)
  • French (fr)
  • German (de)
  • Italian (it)
  • Japanese (jp)
  • Portuguese (pt)
  • Portuguese Brazil (pt-br)
  • Russian (ru)
  • Serbian (sr)
  • Slovak (sk)
  • Slovenian (sl)
  • Spanish (es)

The interface language is set using the Locale.code configuration parameter in the editor.cnf file:

# interface language (en, sl, sr, es, de, fr, dk, it, jp, ru, cs, sk, pt, pt-br, nl, auto)
Locale.code = en

Set it to either a 2-letter language code (ISO 639-2) or auto. When auto is used, the language is determined by the scln GET parameter (if present) or by the browser / system language settings.
