Multilingual websites

To build a multilingual website with the MATE theme, you can install the extension Contao Multilingual Pages [i18nl10n]. Then you do not have to duplicate the site structure, only the elements that are displayed in different languages. You find documentation for Contao 3 here; there is none for Contao 4 yet.

Alternatively, you can create a site structure for each language without this extension. You find more about this in the Contao manual.

Contao Multilingual Pages [i18nl10n]

If you do not want to duplicate the site structure, install the extension exploreimpact/contao-i18nl10n with the Contao Manager.

In the website root of the site structure you can select the alternative languages under i18nl10n settings.

Under the menu item Multilingual pages, add the pages in the other languages. To create all pages, click L10N for all.

The elements now have the option to select the language under L10n settings. Select Neutral if the element should be displayed in all languages.

Duplicating the site structure

If you prefer to work with several site structures, select the corresponding website root under MATE Elements in the article settings under Template settings.
