Changing language of modules

[dennisvv]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Contao and just set up my own theme, but somehow all modules e.g. login form, password request form are in English, yet it has to be in Dutch.
Can I possibly change this somewhere, or should I manually do this? Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Dennis van Vliet

All of Contao core has been translated. In Contao 3 this is bundled with Contao. In Contao 2 you have to download the language pack from the regular Contao download page and follow instructions (extracting the zipped files into the correct location)

Also, Contao takes the default languag from your browser to decide what language to display in the frontend. I somehow seem to recall there have been changes so it takes the page language for the frontend, but I'm not sure. For the backend you select the language when logging in.

Take care to set the right language code in the settings of your page of type "Website root":

"Layout" > "Site structure" > edit the "Website root" page settings > "DNS settings" > "Language" > enter the language code "nl"
