The multilingual capability of AnQiCMS: opening the door to the global market

One of AnQiCMS' core strengths is its comprehensive multi-language support feature.This means that, regardless of where your visitors come from and what language they speak, they can easily switch and accurately browse the content of your website.The system design fully considers the needs of internationalization, allowing content to directly face users of different languages, thereby helping you to carry out global promotion activities efficiently without incurring a large amount of additional development costs.

For the core content such as articles, products, and single pages on the website, AnQiCMS encourages you to create corresponding versions in different languages.Combine the advantages of the flexible content model system, you can design independent content entries for each language or store translation content through custom fields.

The magic of multilingual templates: UI text and switcher

AnQiCMS's template system adopts a syntax similar to the Django template engine, making it intuitive and easy to switch and display front-end multilingual content. It is mainly realized in two ways:

1. Translate labels{% tr %}:To handle fixed text on the website interface (such as navigation menus, button text, footer information, etc.), AnQiCMS introduces translation tags{% tr %}. You only need to create a directory in the root of the template projectlocales, and create a subdirectory for each language (for exampleen-us/zh-cn), and then place them in these subdirectoriesdefault.ymlFiles in YAML format are equal. Indefault.ymlfile, you can define key-value pairs, for example:

   # zh-cn/default.yml
   "yourLocation": "您的位置"
   "welcomeMessage": "欢迎来到我们的网站！"
   
   # en-us/default.yml
   "yourLocation": "Your Location"
   "welcomeMessage": "Welcome to our website!"
   

   Then in the template, you can use{% tr "yourLocation" %}or{% tr "welcomeMessage" %}Call these translation texts. The system will automatically load and display the corresponding language text based on the current website language settings, allowing your website interface to switch seamlessly.

2. Multilingual site list label{% languages %}:AnQiCMS provides a variable to generate links so that users can easily switch between website languages.{% languages websites %}The tag can retrieve the list of all configured multilingual sites, including their language names, language codes, link addresses, and more.You can place a language switcher at the top or sidebar of the website, by traversingwebsitesVariable to generate link:

   {%- languages websites %}
   {%- if websites %}
   <div>
       <span>切换语言：</span>
       {%- for item in websites %}
       <a href="{{item.Link}}">
           {%- if item.LanguageIcon %}
           <img src="{{item.LanguageIcon}}" alt="{{item.LanguageName}}" />
           {%- else %}
           {{item.LanguageEmoji}}
           {% endif %}
           {{item.LanguageName}}
       </a>
       {%- endfor %}
   </div>
   {%- endif %}
   {%- endLanguages %}
