Languages

LightNet supports multiple languages, including right-to-left languages. A LightNet Site can use one or more Site Languages for its user interface, while Content is presented in its own Content Language.

A Site Language is the language of the site’s user interface, including button labels, menus, and other user interface elements.

A LightNet Site may have one or more Site Languages. Users can switch from one Site Language to another in the user interface.

LightNet includes translations for many languages. If a Ministry wants to add a Site Language that is not already supported, a Site Administrator can add it. For technical details, see Internationalization fundamentals.

A Content Language is the language in which a Media Item’s Content is presented. For example, it is the language of the written text in a document or the spoken language of a video.

The Content Language can be different from the Site Language. A LightNet Site could use English as its Site Language while offering a Media Item with Arabic as its Content Language.
