1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,000
So now that Italian is installed as our second language for this Web site, the

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
next thing I want to do is I want to create what's called a content language.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
If you look in any piece of content here in the Web site -- let's just look at the

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Article Manager here for a moment, and look at one of these articles.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Over here on the side, we have a dropdown for Language, and right now that

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:27,000
dropdown is populated with All, or English, but Italian doesn't show up in this dropdown.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So what we're going to do next is create what's called the content language.

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
This is going to populate this dropdown, so that we can assign languages to

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
specific articles, categories, menu items, and so forth.

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
So to do this, I am going to close out my article here.

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I am going to go to Extensions > Language Manager, and I'm going to go to a Content

12
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
item here over in the left navigation.

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Right now, here is English, which is one of the two languages that shows up in that dropdown.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
All is a catchall, and is always there by default.

15
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
English is the other language that's there.

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Now I need to go ahead and add an Italian content language.

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000
To do that, as always, we click the big green New button, and I am going to give

18
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
this a Title of Italian, and then I'm going to assign the native title.

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
This is the way the Italians would say Italian, which is Italiano.

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:27,000
The URL language code is in the URL for the Web site.

21
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
What two letter code is going to show up indicating that you're in one

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
language or another.

23
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
So it's usually like EN for English, or ES for Spanish; for Italian it is IT.

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,000
The image prefix has to do with the little flags that are going to show up

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
in language switcher.

26
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
The flags are associated in the back-end of Joomla,

27
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
and they are associated with the various countries.

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,000
So if you know that two letter country code, that flag, if it's available, will

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
show up in language switcher.

30
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
So once again, that's IT.

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Then the LanguageTtag is the form of Italian you happen to be using, or the form of English.

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
So by default, the form of English is en-GB, for Great Britain.

33
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
There is also en-US, for the United States. Or for French, for example, you can have

34
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:24,000
fr-FR; that would be the French that's spoken in France, or fr-QC, for the French

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
that spoken in Quebec.

36
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So here for the Language Tag, it's just it-IT.

37
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
So this is Italian as the Italians speak in Italy.

38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
That is all we need to fill out here for this information.

39
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Go ahead and say Save & Close, and you will see Italian will show up here as a

40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
language that's available here as a content language.

41
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Now if I go back to my Content, back to my Article Manager, and I take a look

42
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
at one of my Articles,

43
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
here in the dropdown, I now have the option of choosing Italian.

44
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
So that's the second step in the process is creating our content language, so

45
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
that that is there in a dropdown, and now we can start to assign that to various

46
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
kinds of content here in the back-end of Joomla.
