Managing multilingual content

You can make content multilingual by selecting the Make Multilingual action under the View Details page. You need to select the base language (Pivot Translation) and optionally add other translations.

Once multilingual support is added to a file, you will notice the Multilingual Content Info window in View Details page. You can change the properties, such as Pivot Translation by clicking on the Edit button. You can add translations with file and without a file.
