The app is more commonly used when creating multiple language pages. With Language Switch for Confluence, you will be able to pre-define language pages and switch from one language page (e.g. English) to a different preferred language page (e.g. Italian, Spanish, French, among many others) easily. 

Language Switch is using Confluence labels to identify the version of the page and its related pages.


The label is created using this format:

<Prefix>_<PageIdentifier>_<Language>
<Prefix>The prefix is always page
<PageIdentifier>This is the common identifier which must be used on all related pages, e.g. product.
<Language>Identifies the Language of the Page using ISO 639-1 two-letter codes, as defined in the Configuration.


Example of Labels

  Home page in English   

  Home page in German   


This example provides a simple How-To Guide to create 2 related Pages with 2 configured Languages.

First we configure the Global Configuration that we support 2 Languages, in this case we use English (en) and German (de).

Navigate to General configuration -> Section: Look and Feel -> Language Switch and create the Global Configuration as follow:


If you navigate to any Pages in a Space, you will find the Language Switch in the Header Toolbar.


You can customize the position of the buttons perfectly integrated into the Confluence look and feel.


Configure Pages for the Language Switch

for your Example, we will create Products Pages in German and English and we will use as Page Identifier products.

First we prepare the English Page:

  1. Create a new Page Products
  2. Add a Label page_products_en to mark this Page as Language English with Page Identifier products.
     

Then we create the German Page:

  1. Create a new Page Produkte
  2. Add a Label page_products_de to mark this Page as Language German with Page Identifier products.
