    • When creating content from the Content Library, you have the option to select a different language to view in your session similar to changing your language at login.

    For more information on using a specific language, see User specific language.
    Note:
    You must have additional languages installed before using. For more information, see Activate a language.

    Activate the sn_cd.enable_language_switching system property to use this feature. For more information, see Properties installed with Content Publishing and Content Library.

    When you activate the sn_cd.enable_language_switching system property, created content from your Content Library displays the Switch language button. This allows you to switch your system settings language to a different language. The fields on the content form switch to the language you selected and changes the entries in each field if translations are available.

    When you switch to a different language, you can also see if there are translations available in that language. For example, Spanish - translated indicates translations are available in Spanish for the content you have displayed from the Content Library.

    You can preview the translated text before your publish your content via the Preview on portal button.

    Select the Switch language button again after reviewing to switch back to your original language.
