How do I translate my pages into other languages?

Translated pages are bound to each other. If a visitor changes the language of your site then he or she is redirected to the translated version of the same page in chosen language.

There are two ways to translate a page. If you are using a standard Edicy design then you will see untranslated pages as “greyed out” in your menu. Click on any grey page name (title) to translate it.

Alternatively, go to "Settings" → "Structure" and choose the language you want to translate into. Expand the list to see all the pages on your new site. You'll see the "Translate this page" option beside each page that hasn't yet been translated. Click on the link – it will ask you to add a page. Type in the translated title of the page and click “Create this page” to recreate the page in the chosen language.

How do I delete a language that I don't need any more?

Go to "Settings" → "Structure" and click on the "Settings" link next to the language menu. Choose the language you wish to delete and click on the "Delete" link. 

NB. Deleting a language environment also deletes ALL content and pages in this language. Remember that there has to be at least one language left to make sure that your site is accessible for others.
