00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
In the United States, it's relatively rare that we build Web sites in any

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
language other than English.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
However, we do have a growing Spanish- speaking community in some parts of the US.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
As a result, many Web sites increasingly deliver content in English, and in Spanish.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Some Web sites in government or health care may also wish to serve people

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,000
in several languages.

7
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Fortunately, one of Joomla's major strengths is its ability to support

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
multiple languages. Joomla

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,000
is a project built by participants from around the world, speaking many

10
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
different languages. In fact Joomla

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
has been translated into dozens of languages from around the world. What's more,

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
Joomla is also localized.

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Localization means that a language is adapted to a certain country or region's

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
flavor of the language.

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Thing about the difference between Canadian French, and French spoken in France,

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
or English spoken in the US, versus the United Kingdom. Joomla

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,000
supports these differences as well.

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,000
As a turned that kinetECO frequently work with Italian firms who are doing

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
research in solar and wind energy,

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
and they get a lot of traffic to this Web site where people would like to have

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000
the content presented in Italian.

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
So I am going to show you now how to build part of this Web site out in Italian.

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
If you need to support more than two languages on your Web site, you can use the

24
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
same procedure demonstrated here over the next several videos for each language

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
of interest on your Web site.
