The software allows for any number of languages to be in use on the client side. This allows your clients to see all system text and templates within a language you setup and allow your clients to view on the client side.
Highlights of the Multi-Language Feature:
Ability to see all system generated text of the client side by language choice
Ability to see all templates used on the client side by language choice
Ability to allow the client side user to choose the language they view the site in from the languages you've configured in the software
This feature does NOT translate client entered text. It is best you not try to create a feature to do this as automatic translation tools can sometimes miscommunicate features that prove very important. Besides the seller will insert a listing in the language they understand. There is no use having clients send them questions in languages they cannot understand
Ability to browse the site using a language filter. This allows users to only view listings that were inserted using the language they have currently selected to view the site in.
Flexible ability to set a language cookie to the client browser
Ability to set language specific attention getters
You can export languages for local translation in a program like Microsoft Office or Openoffice
You can create languages within the system using the following admin tools:
LANGUAGES > LANGUAGE HOME
And manage a few aspects of it within that page like exporting a language for external translation and reimport after translation. You can set a specific template set to a specific language use within this admin tool:
DESIGN > TEMPLATE SETS
