PropertyDescription
Order

In the far left column, a number is assigned to each language. This affects the order that they appear in the "Select Language" drop-down list as well as the order from top to bottom in the language drop-down at the top of the sidebars in a sidebar header or the Language Widget in XperienCentral versions R31 and lower. To change the order, select a new number for the language(s) and then click [Apply]. The language assigned the ranking "1" is the default content language (see below).


Note

The ordering (ranking) of languages in the Language Labels panel is channel specific.


ActiveWhen this checkbox is selected, the language is active and available to be used in XperienCentral.
Language CodeThe internal ID of the language in XperienCentral.
Name in XperienCentralThe string that appears in drop-down lists in XperienCentral when you select the language property for a page and in the Language Widget.
MetatagvalueThe description of the language in the form locale_LOCALE based on the ISO 639 standard (en_EN for English, nl_NL for Dutch, and so forth).
Fallback

The language version to use if a content item cannot be found in the requested language. To select the fallback language, expand the drop-down list and select it.

Note

This functionality only works if the setting "Use another language if language is not available" is selected in the General tab of Configuration > Channel Configuration. See Channel Configuration.


DeleteA checkbox for deleting a language. You can only delete a language that you have added. Because English and Dutch are the two standard languages supported in XperienCentral, they cannot be deleted.
CopyA button for copying all the language labels for a language. You use this functionality to add new languages.

...

In XperienCentral, you can set any of the available languages as the default content language of the edit environment for each channel. The default content language determines the following:

  • The language drop-down at the top of the sidebars in a sidebar header (or the Language Widget in XperienCentral versions R31 and lower) is set to the default content language each time you start a new XperienCentral session.
  • All content items you create are in the default content language if you do not switch languages.
  • Content created by a developer using the Java API is in the default content language if one is not explicitly specified in the code.
