Calendar 👁️ 84

Under the wave of globalization, websites no longer serve only local users. How to enable visitors from different language backgrounds to access and understand the content of the website without barriers has become an important challenge for many operators.AnQiCMS (AnQiCMS) understands this need and provides a flexible and powerful multilingual support solution to help websites easily expand into the international market.This article will introduce in detail how to enable multi-language functionality on the AnQiCMS website, and guide you to integrate language switching options in the front-end template to enhance user experience.

Enable AnQiCMS multilingual support: from backend configuration to content strategy

To implement multilingual in AnQiCMS, it mainly involves system-level language packages, template string translation, and multilingual management at the content level.Understanding how these three work together is the key to building a comprehensive multilingual website.

1. Configure the system default language package (affects system UI elements)

Our company's CMS comes with multiple language packages for translating the background management interface and some general texts automatically generated by the system (such as "Previous page", "Next page", etc.).This setting is relatively simple, but it mainly affects the display language of the system itself, rather than the specific content of the articles, products, etc. that you publish.

To adjust this setting, please log in to your AnQiCMS backend and navigate to“Backend Settings” -> “Global Settings”. Here, you can find“Default language package”Option. Select the language you want the website to default to from the dropdown menu (for example, 'Chinese' or 'English').Although this setting will not automatically translate your articles, it is the first step to ensure language consistency at the system level.

2. Use multi-site management to achieve multilingual content layering

For the core content of the website, such as articles, products, categories, etc., AnQiCMS recommends using its powerful“Multi-site management”To implement multilingual functionality. This means that you will create a separate sub-site for each target language. For example, you can have a main site for Chinese content (yourdomain.comCreate a sub-site for English contenten.yourdomain.comoryourdomain.com/en/Create a sub-site for French contentfr.yourdomain.comoryourdomain.com/fr/)

The advantage of this method lies in:

  • Content independence:Each language version has its own independent content management space, allowing for the publication of completely different articles, products, and avoiding language confusion.
  • SEO friendly:Different language versions can have independent URL structures and TDK (title, description, keywords) settings, which is beneficial for search engine optimization.
  • Management flexibility:You can assign different permissions to the operation teams of different language sites.
