This article overviews how an Umbraco CMS website uses and manages localization files. |
Localization files are used to translate:
- The Umbraco backoffice user interface so that end users can use Umbraco in their native language. This is particularly important for content editors who do not speak English.
- The member identity errors in an Umbraco website enable end users to use Umbraco in the website language.
You can also:
- Override existing language files.
- Include translations for your own package. Read Add translations for your packages to see how to you can achieve this.
