To setup a multilingual Magento site, you need to create a store view for each language (or country) with the correct locale settings (an in-depth guide can be found here).
Create New Store Views
- To create a new store view in the Magento Admin panel, navigate to
System
>Manage Stores
>Create Store View
. Create a new store view for the desired language (locale). - Next, go to
System
>Configuration
>General
to setup the locale settings. - From the
Current Configuration Scope
drop-down, select the newly created store view. - Expand the
Locale Options
and unselect theUse Website
checkbox next to Locale. - Select the locale (country) for the store view you have just created from the drop-down.
- Save the changes and repeat for each locale (language/country) you wish to setup.
URL Options
You can adjust the URL Options for your store views. To do so:
- Go to
System
>Configuration
>General
>Web
>URL Options
. - This allows you to set how your URLs will appear for different store views, e.g.:
www.yourdomain.com/fr-fr/
