ImpressCMS offers multi-language support for both your site content and the user interface. That means that the people maintaining and managing your site can be working in their language of choice the whole time. That considerably lowers the barrier for content managers or webmasters.

User Interface

The language on the web is primarily English, but ImpressCMS doesn't force you to use that language anywhere. The ImpressCMS core offers full support for

• UTF-8 characters
• multi-byte encoded languages,  including Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Korean, ...
• right-to-left languages (Arab, Hebrew)

We have translation packages for many languages available in the addons section. Use these translation packages to enable the ImpressCMS user interface in additional languages.

Site content

Once the multilanguage option is enabled in the Admin Control Panel (ACP), you just need to surround content in a specific language with language tags like or [fr], and ImpressCMS will show the appropriate content to your site visitors.
