How to Enable Multiple Language Support

Configure your ProProfs site for multiple languages to enhance user accessibility.

Use Case:

Imagine you run a help site in English and Spanish. With ProProfs, users can effortlessly switch between languages, making content accessible to a diverse audience.

Here's a screenshot of a sample help site offering multiple language support: 

Benefits:

• Customize site interface, messaging, and page elements in multiple languages for a global audience.
• Allow users to easily toggle between languages with a user-friendly language selection drop-down menu.

To Enable Multiple Language Support

Step 1: In your ProProfs Knowledge Base dashboard, go to "Settings" and select "Configure."

Step 2: Under the Settings tab, select your default site language.

Step 3: Linking help sites together:

• Select "Site is another language of an existing site."
• Choose the Primary Site.
• Select "Link sites together with language drop-down" to provide a language selection menu.
• Standardize URLs for linked sites.

Let's say you have a primary site in English with the URL: site.helpdocsonline.com. When you create linked sites for different languages, you want to standardize the URLs to maintain clarity and a cohesive user experience. Here's how you might structure the URLs:

English Site (Primary Language):

URL: site.helpdocsonline.com

Spanish Site (Linked):

URL: site.helpdocsonline.com/es/

Here, /es/ is the ISO code for Spanish, indicating that this is the Spanish version of the site.

• Save the preferences.

• ProProfs does not automatically translate content.
• Each language requires a separate site, as content, settings, branding, etc., are managed independently.
• ProProfs does not provide tools to translate text.
• Translations can be done offline by exporting and importing the site or by allowing a translator to work within ProProfs with a contributor role.
