1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000 At this point in the course, we have built this Web site out using a single 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,000 language, that's English, and you can follow all of the steps that I've used 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000 this point if you're only going to build your Web site in one language. 4 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000 But if you are going to build your Web site in multiple languages, we are going 5 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,000 to have to make some tweaks to the site we already have. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000 We are going to need to rearrange some Categories. 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000 We are going to rearrange some Articles. 8 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000 We'll need to assign some languages. 9 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,000 There are many steps that I'll be going through in the next few videos. 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,000 If you build your Web site from the ground up with a second language in mind, 11 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000 then it's probably less work in the long run, because you've already built the 12 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,000 structure into place as you're building out your Web site, and it isn't so much work 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000 retrofitting it for a second language. 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000 However, because so many people in the US build their Web sites in just one 15 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000 language, I wanted to be sure to demonstrate that, and now I am going to 16 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000 demonstrate how to retrofit your site for that second language. 17 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:56,000 So the first step in this process is to install the Italian language pack. Joomla 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 is an open-source project, with contributors from around the world, and the 19 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Italians have a thriving Joomla community. 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000 They are very enthusiastic about Joomla, 21 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,000 and they have translated Joomla's 22 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000 English version into an Italian version, and it's available as an 23 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000 official translation. 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000 What we need to do now is make sure that that translation is available to Joomla. 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000 What it'll do is translate the entire back-end of Joomla; 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000 all of the administrator interface will be translated into Joomla, 27 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000 and any messages that appear on the front of the Web site that are generated by Joomla 28 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000 will also be translated. 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000 This does not translate your content. 30 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,000 So any content that you're generating, that you're putting in as an article; that 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000 content is not translated by Joomla. 32 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000 So here's how we install this language pack. 33 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000 First we are going to go to our Language Manager, which you can get to 34 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000 either here from the link in that control panel, or you can go to 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,000 Extensions > Language Manager. 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000 This is going to show you all of the languages that are installed on 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000 your current Web site. 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000 Right now there's only one. It's English. 39 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000 This is the languages there are available for the front-end of the Web site, 40 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,000 then under an Administrator here on the side these are languages available on the back-end. 41 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000 It's just English. 42 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000 What I need to do is install Italian as a language. 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000 So all I need to do -- and this is new in Joomla! 3.0; 44 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000 previously, we had to go out to the Joomla 45 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,000 Web site, download the language pack, and install it. Now we can do it all within 46 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 the back-end of Joomla, which is just great. 47 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000 I am going to click on the Install languages button, and this is going to give me 48 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000 a list of all of the official Joomla translations. 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000 So these are groups of people from around the world who have collaborated to make Joomla 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000 into these official language packs. 51 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000 So I'm going to scroll on down the page here to find Italian, and I'm going to check Italian off 52 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000 here, and then I'm going to click the Install button here at the top of the 53 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,000 screen, and we'll just wait a second for that to download, and it will indicate 54 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000 that installing Italian was successful. 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Now if I go to Extensions > Language Manager, you'll see that I have both the 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000 English language, and Italian language installed here in the Web site, both on 57 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000 the front-end of the Web site -- the Site end of this -- as well as on the 58 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Administrator site of this. 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000 I could now also run the entire back-end of Joomla 60 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000 in Italian if I wish. 61 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000 That is something that I can do in the global configuration; I can set the 62 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000 default language for my copy of Joomla. 63 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,000 I can also override that on a user by user basis. 64 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Through the User Manager, I can set specific users to work with one language 65 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000 or another.
