The following procedure uses the classic UI to create a language root of a site. For more information, see Creating a Language Root.

  1. In the Websites console, in the Websites tree, select the root page of the site. (http://localhost:4502/siteadmin#)

  2. Add a new child page that represents the language version of the site:

    1. Click New > New Page.

    2. In the dialog, specify the Title and the Name. The Name needs to be in the format of <language-code> or <language-code>_<country-code>, for example en, en_US, en_us, en_GB, en_gb.

      • The supported language code is lower-case, two-letter code as defined by ISO-639-1
      • The supported country code is lower-case or upper-case, two-letter code as defined by ISO 3166

    3. Select the Template and click Create.
