Languages

Osclass allows administrators to manage multiple languages for both the front-office (public site) and back-office (admin panel). This ensures that users and administrators can interact with the platform in their preferred language. This guide covers how to add, manage, and configure languages in Osclass.

Adding a New Language

New languages can be added in two ways:

  • From the Market: Navigate to Market > Languages and install available language packs.
  • Manually Upload a ZIP File: Click Add Language and upload a valid language package (.zip file) containing .mo and .po translation files.

Managing Installed Languages

Installed languages can be viewed and managed in the International > Languages section.

Additional settings are available to refine language usage:

  • Native Location Names: Enable this option to display location names in their native language.
  • Text Direction: Defines whether the language is left-to-right (LTR) or right-to-left (RTL).

Bulk Actions for Languages

Administrators can perform bulk actions on multiple languages, including:

  • Enable or disable multiple languages at once.
  • Delete multiple language packs.

Conclusion

Managing languages in Osclass ensures that your site is accessible to a global audience. By properly configuring languages, administrators can provide a seamless multilingual experience for users.
