Translating your docs into multiple languages means you can help customers all over the globe. We've got a few handy tools built in to make it easy to keep docs updated whichever language your customers speak.
Understanding Multilingual Translation
When you start using Multilingual you'll see a common theme: all translated articles are based off a default language. Think of the default language as the original copy.
With Multilingual you start branching off the original and translate what you already have into a different language.
What happens if I disable multilingual afterwards?
If you decide you don't want to use multilingual anymore after writing your articles in a different language customers going to the language URL (e.g. /l/pt/article-slug) will be redirected to the default version of the article (i.e. /article-slug) instead.
Navigating Multiple Languages
This is where all your language and accounts live. It also shows the current language you're on in a badge on the right.
If you're using a regional language like Canadian French, this will show up too.
That's it, you're ready to start writing your content in that language.
