Multi-Language Support for Website Content

In Site Management Tools (SMT), Multi-Language pages lets you create website content and add your own translations in any of your configured languages. The type of content you add determines what translation options are available. If website content does not have any translations, the base language displays as the default. For SEO metadata, this behavior does not occur to ensure there is no adverse SEO effect. You must supply any SEO translation data for the commerce category.

Note:

The visibility dates you select apply to the default language and any translations. There is no option to select individual visibility dates for a specific translation.
