Guillaume Lerouge 1.1 42
Silvia Macovei 19.4 43 By default the language displayed will be the one coming from the browser. However, on every page you can choose to switch between the different language translations that exist for the page. To do so click on the language name in the top right corner of the screen as shown in the following screenshots. Note that you can also force a language by suffixing a URL with <tt>language=&lt;2-letter language code&gt;</tt>. In addition you can [configure your wiki to always use a specific language or force a single language to be used>AdminGuide.Configuration#HLanguagesettings].

Silvia Macovei 19.4 59 #info("Note that all translations of one page share the same set of XWiki objects. So it is impossible to have different objects (and page tags, which are objects too) in different translations for now, but it is planed in next versions.")
