Confluence Plugins

Language Plugin

With the Language plugin you can have the same content in different languages on the same Confluence page. The user sees content only in the language which is set in the user settings. If no macro exists for the preferred language of the user, the plugin checks if there is a macro for the confluence default language to display. Additionally, the page title can be set according to the users language settings using the {pagetitle} macro.

FAQ



  • Is the "Automatically detect browser setting" supported?
    Yes, if the user didn't set a preferred language, the plugin tries to use the browsers language or otherwise uses the Confluence default language. (Confluence 3.5 or higher)

  • The {pagetitle} macro changes only the title next to the page title logo. The title is not changed in the bread crumbs, the browser window title bar, in the {pagetree} macro and the {children} macro. Is this a bug? And are you going to fix this?
    The {pagetitle} macro replaces the page title only on the actual page when that page is loaded. While it should be possible to change the title in the bread crumbs and the browser window title bar (see feature requests[LANGUAGE-1] and [LANGUAGE-4]), it will not be possible to change the title of a page in the page tree or a list of child pages using the {pagetitle} macro (see [LANGUAGE-2] and [LANGUAGE-5]).
