🌍 How to Add Another Language to Involv functionalities

Adding multilingual support to your Involv intranet helps you reach users across different regions and language preferences. This article guides you through the process of adding a new language — for example, Arabic — and ensuring everything is set up properly.

📌 Why Add More Languages?

• Navigate to the language selection element on your intranet (usually located in the header or top-right menu).

• Click directly on the element to open its settings.

• Choose "Configuration" from the contextual menu.

2. Add the New Language

In the configuration panel:

3. Clear the Cache

To ensure your changes take effect:

• Navigate to your site's caching options.

• Clear the cache to remove outdated configuration data.

4. Enable Page Translation

• Go to the "Page Translation" settings.

• Select the new language you just added, e.g., Arabic.

• This ensures that specific pages can now be translated and displayed in the selected language.

5. Test in the User Menu

Once setup is complete:

• Open the user menu on your site.

• Try switching to the newly added language (e.g., Arabic) to verify the user interface updates accordingly.
