Overview

ProcessWire's multi-language support includes a full gettext-style translation system, but with the translation tools built into the CMS, and without actually using gettext.

It also includes multi-language fields and multi-language field alternates. This provides the ability to install (or create) alternate language packs for the admin side of ProcessWire. For sites that need to support more than one language, the multi-language fields provide the ability to specify the same page content in more than one language. 

Multi-language support is installed with core modules available in the admin: Modules > Language > Language Support (in ProcessWire 2.2 or newer). If you just want to install alternate language packs, then all you need is the base Language Support module. If you want to support multi-language fields in your own site, then you should also install the Language Support Fields module.  

Multi-language support in ProcessWire requires version 2.2 or newer.
