Earlier today Anton Hristov posted on Twitter that Sitefinity is now available in 10 languages. These Sitefinity translations are graciously contributed by the Sitefinity community and provide translated versions of Sitefinity’s administrative UI.
Sitefinity has now been translated into:
Download Sitefinity Language Translations
Below are the instructions for installing and using the Sitefinity Language Translations:
1. Download the localization resources and unzip the ZIP file.
Inside this zip file are folders (named by culture) for the available languages
2. Copy the folder for whatever language you require into the ~/bin folder of your Sitefinity web site.
This example creates a ~/bin/es folder. Inside this folder are several DLL files. Multiple language folders can be copied into the ~/bin folder if multiple languages are required.
3. Enable localization for the desired languages in the ~/web.config file - (see instructions)
Note that the folder that I copied above (es) matches one of the cultures mentioned above.
I found comments in the Sitefinity forums that suggested that the Sitefinity project needed to be rebuilt in Visual Studio and the web application restarted before the new languages would become available. In my own experience, I found that updating the web.config file was enough to get this working…
4. Login to Sitefinity and select a new language from the dropdown list
Sitefinity is now be localized for that language.
As mentioned, these language translations are contributed by the Sitefinity community and we greatly appreciate their help and contributions.
If you’re interested in contributing, you can help by creating a new translation of Sitefinity's UI in your language and sending it to us to compile. You can do this by submitting a support ticket with your translation as an attachment. If you need help or instructions, please let us know.
