Languages and Translations

Sitefinity CMS enables you, as content creator, to localize your site in as many language versions as required. By using Sitefinity’s multilingual support you can localize pages, content items, taxonomies, and so forth. Thus, you can address your site’s international audience and target a greater number of users.

In addition, you can create different languages for the frontend of your website as well as for the backend. Frontend and backend languages can be created independently.

Creating and working with multilingual items programmatically is very similar to the standard monolingual operations: create, query, modify, and delete. The major difference in managing localized content is that you need to specify the desired culture and pass it as a parameter to the appropriate methods.
