In XperienCentral, the default language is the language that is selected in the language drop-down at the top of the sidebars in a sidebar header (or in the Language Widget in XperienCentral versions R31 and lower) each time you start a new XperienCentral session. All content items that you create in XperienCentral are created in the default content language if you do not switch languages. The default content language in XperienCentral is also used when a developer creates content using the Java API without explicitly specifying a language.

Multiple language versions of content items exist parallel to each other. For pages and page sections, the tree structures are identical. For all content items, the title of the language versions can be different as well as the workflow status. In almost all cases, different language versions of content items have different content than their parallel language versions. To switch between the language versions of your website content, use the language drop-down at the top of the sidebars in a sidebar header or the Language Widget in XperienCentral versions R31 and lower.
