By default, Joomla!® installs with GB English (en-GB) pre-installed.
However, Language Translations / Packs are available of the interfaces, sample data and help screens in a large number of languages - note that your created content of multi-lingual websites may require additional set-up.
Translations / Language Packs are installed using the extensions manager in your website administrator area and then managed using the Language Manager.
If you have two or more languages installed you may enable the language switcher plugin and module. These should always be used together. If you create multilingual content and mark your content, menu items or modules as being in specific languages and follow the language switcher tutorial your website visitors will be able to select a specific content language using the module. By default both the language switcher plugin and language switcher module are disabled.
There are a number of extensions available in the Joomla! Extensions Directory which can help you manage translations of content in your Joomla CMS powered website.
If no Language Pack is available for your required / preferred language, instructions are available for creating your own translation, which you can also contribute to the community by starting a translation team to create an accredited translation.
Installable Language packs are available in the following Languages. Do note than a number of these translations may be at various stages of completeness - they are often produced by volunteers who contribute the translation pack to the Joomla community.
Note
Language Translations / Packs are available of the interfaces, sample data and help screens.
