TYPO3 Translation

If you work with TYPO3, you may find that you need to translate your website into different languages. Translations are important to reach a wider audience and make your content accessible to people from different regions. Let us simply explain how TYPO3 handles translation.

What is TYPO3 translation?

TYPO3 is a powerful content management system (CMS) that allows you to create and manage websites. Translation in TYPO3 means converting the content of your website into different languages so that people from different parts of the world can understand and interact with it.

Why is translation important?

  1. Reach global reach: By translating your site, you can attract visitors from different countries who speak different languages.
  2. Improve user experience: Providing content in users' native languages makes your site more user-friendly.
  3. Increase engagement: Visitors are more likely to stay on your site and interact with it if they can read it in their language.

How to translate your TYPO3 site

Here's a simple guide to help you get started with translations in TYPO3:

  1. Set up languages:
    • Go to the TYPO3 backend and open the "Site Management" module.
    • Click on "Languages" and add the languages you want to support.
  2. Translate content:
    • Navigate to the "Page" module where you manage your pages.
    • Select a page and find the option to create a new language version.
    • Copy the content of the original page and translate it into the selected language.
  3. Manage translations:
    • TYPO3 allows you to manage translations for various elements such as pages, news articles and more.
    • Use the "Languages" view to keep track of which pages are translated and which are not.
  4. Use translation tools:
    • TYPO3 offers extensions like "L10n" for advanced translation management.
    • These tools can help automate and optimize the translation process.
  5. Review your translations:
    • After translation, it's important to review the content to make sure it reads well in the new language.
    • Make sure there are no errors and that the content fits the cultural context of the target audience.

Tips for effective translations
