Changing the Back-End Language

If your website is multi-lingual, Sitefinity allows you to change the language used in the back-end administration area on menus, etc.

Supported languages as of 14 February 2019:
  • English
  • Spanish / español
  • Italian / italiano
  • German / Deutsch
  • French / français
  • Dutch / Nederlands
  • Japanese / 日本語
These are the languages Sitefintiy has translated, but it is possible for us to add other languages. 
If your language is not listed and you would like to translate the menus, submit a support ticket and we will work with you to create the translation file.
