#1 Using multiple languages
Going all Multilanguage / i18n
Everything in 2sxc is multi-language right from the start. It's important to understand that every field in 2sxc can be translated or not - and the lookup happens automatically. So the following examples will automatically show the correct value based on the language you're on.
There are two important types of multi-language:
- Multi-Language Resources - like messages / button labels etc.
- Multi-Language Content - things the content editor will work with
If you installed the Tutorial App on your system these examples may not work.
That's because Dnn / 2sxc must be have DE and EN activated before installing the tutorial app.
Otherwise it will only import the EN data and not import the DE data.
Multi-Language (i18n) Resources
These are configured in the App Resources
or in the global resources.
- The Greeting Text:
Welcome to the Tutorial App!
This is the English greeting 😉!

Multi-Language (i18n) Content
The editor can edit anything and choose which field to translate. In the following example, only one book is translated - and even the cover-image is translated.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway, Arthur Dent is plucked off the planet by his friend Ford Prefect, a researcher for the revised edition of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy who, for the last 15 years, has been posing as an out-of-work actor. Together this dynamic pair begin a journey through space aided by quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide ("A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.") and a galaxy full of fellow travelers: Zaphod Beeblebrox, the two-headed, three-armed ex-hippie and totally out-to-lunch president of the galaxy; Trillian, Zaphod's girlfriend (formally Tricia McMillan), whom Arthur tried to pick up at a cocktail party once upon a time zone; Marvin, a paranoid, brilliant, and chronically depressed robot; and Veet Voojagig, a former graduate student who is obsessed with the disappearance of all the ballpoint pens he bought over the years.
