MULTILINGUAL SITES

# One site, several languages

Run Finnish at `/` and Swedish under `/sv/`, or English, German and Arabic side by side. Typeroll gives each language its own home page, 404 page, tagline, cookie banner wording and search index, and links the versions with hreflang.

## How it works

- **Every Page has a language.** Pages without one use the site language. The page language sets `<html lang>`, the search index and built-in wording.
- **Language sections.** Declare each extra language once with its home path, such as `/sv/`. Its pages get the right home link, breadcrumbs, 404 page, tagline, fallback description and cookie banner text.
- **Header and footer per language** with a "Show if…" block that tests the page language.
- **Content types per language**, each with its own URL pattern and Page template.
- **hreflang alternates** between language versions.

## Built-in wording in 50 languages

Search placeholders, breadcrumbs, previous/next labels, carousel buttons, the cookie banner and 404 pages come with wording in 50 languages. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Urdu pages render right-to-left with a mirrored layout.

## One site or one site per domain

Use language folders on one domain, or build one site per domain and link them with hreflang. Both are documented.

GOOD QUESTIONS

## Questions and answers

**Does Typeroll translate my content?**

No automatic translation is built in. Your AI agent can translate pages through MCP, and people review them in the editor.

**Is there a language switcher?**

Not as a built-in block yet. The guide shows how to add one with a field and a button.

**Which languages are supported?**

Any language for your own content. The built-in interface wording covers 50 languages; for others, write the labels yourself.
