Managing Languages

Your languages live under Omnalingo → Settings → General, in the Language Settings section. This is where you add languages, set how they appear, and control which ones visitors can see.

Add a language

Under Language Settings, click Add Language.
Pick the language you want to translate into (for example, German or French).
Set its URL slug — the prefix in translated URLs, like de for /de/about/. One is filled in automatically from the language code.
Toggle it Active, then click Save All Changes.

Language Settings: each language with its flag, URL slug, a Register (formality) toggle such as du/Sie, and an Active toggle

Adding a language doesn’t translate anything on its own — head to Translating Your Site to do that. Once translations exist, the language appears to visitors automatically.

The settings for each language

Default language — your source language sits locked at the top of the list. It’s what your content is written in and what gets translated from.
Flag — the flag shown in the language switcher. Omnalingo sets a sensible default; change it if you’d prefer a different regional flag.
URL slug — the prefix in translated URLs (/de/, /fr/). Slugs must be unique across your languages. Once your site is live, changing a slug breaks existing links and bookmarks to that language, so set it before launch.
Register (formality) — for languages that distinguish formal and informal address, choose which one the AI uses: du / Sie in German, tu / vous in French, and so on. Languages without that distinction (like English) show —.
Active toggle — controls whether visitors can see the language. Switch it off while you’re still working on a language; your translations are preserved and come back the moment you switch it on again.

Reorder languages

Drag a language by its handle to change the order it appears in the language switcher. Your default language is shown separately — only target languages reorder here.

Remove a language

Click the delete icon next to a language and save. Removing a language deletes its translations from your database and can’t be undone. If you might want it back later, switch it inactive instead of deleting.

Supported languages

Omnalingo supports 130+ languages — the Add Language dropdown is the full list. If you can find it there, Omnalingo can translate into it.

Right-to-left languages

Right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, and Urdu are fully supported. Omnalingo applies the correct text direction automatically, so RTL pages read properly without any extra setup.
