You can manage the languages available on homepage and group pages for the purpose of translating its configurable widgets (carousels, galleries, and custom training sections).

In this article, you'll learn how to add and remove languages, as well as set the source and default languages for the configurable widgets. For instructions on translating the content within these specific widgets, please see the linked articles below:

Add a new language to a page
Adding languages allows you to translate the configurable widgets for users who use those languages.
Without adding languages, standard sections of the page will appear in the user's platform language. Configurable sections (like carousels, galleries, and custom training sections) will be shown in the language they were created in.
To add a new language to a homepage or group page:

Home in the left sidebar) or the group page (click the group name in the left sidebar).

Manage languages.
- In the Manage languages panel, click
Add language(s).
- Select the language you wish to add.
- At the top left of the Add language(s) panel, click
.
- In the Manage languages panel, click Apply.
- Click Close.
Once your page has multiple languages, you can select:
- The source language: The language in which the configurable widgets on the page are created.
- The default language: The language in which the page is displayed when the learner's profile language is not available.
