Aurora: Enable languages in your community

Enabling languages in the community means that the language translation keys will be added to the instance and that language will now be selectable in settings and preferences. The product text keys will all be translated for those enabled languages. Note: This will not translate user generated content via a translation service, that will likely be an integration in a future release on the content itself.

Once multiple languages are enabled:

The user will be able to set a preferred language in their settings and use that language throughout the site. 

We will also detect the locale of the user via browser and OS settings and can set a preferred language for their session that way.

What we are working on now is:

• Languages can be mapped to a top level category meant for that community members speaking that language and automatic redirects can be set up to direct users to that category based on detected language settings
• An option will be added to the navigation bar to list out the enabled languages. When a user selects a language, they will be taken to the corresponding top level category for that language.
  • We're exploring another option of using this selector to change the users language setting and keep them where they are with an option to navigate to the category for that language.

Note: This is still work in progress and design details will likely change.
