# Multilingual Support

**Currently viewing: English (EN)**

This page demonstrates FolderWeb's built-in language support. Use the language switcher in the header to toggle between **EN** and **NO** - the page content will change to match your selected language.

## How It Works

Creating multilingual content is straightforward:

1. **Add language codes to filenames** – Create `index.en.md` and `index.no.md`
2. **Language switcher appears automatically** – When multiple versions exist
3. **URLs get language prefixes** – Non-default languages use `/en/page/`, `/no/page/`, etc.
4. **Share metadata** – One `metadata.ini` file per directory works for all languages

## File Structure Example

```
/content/about/
├── index.en.md          # English version
├── index.no.md          # Norwegian version
└── metadata.ini         # Shared metadata
```

## Configuration

Enable languages in `/app/default/config.ini`:

```ini
[languages]
default = "en"
available = "en,no"
```

## Translation Strings

UI text comes from language files in `/app/default/languages/`:

```ini
; en.ini
home = "Home"
read_more = "Read more"

; no.ini
home = "Hjem"
read_more = "Les mer"
```

Translation strings are optional—templates fall back to sensible defaults if missing.

## Try It

Use the language switcher in the header to toggle between English and Norwegian versions of this page. The content stays the same, just translated.
