Multilingual website (website in several languages)
If you are describing your digital products in several languages and have configured Joomla to be multilingual, then the language switches will be located in the upper panel of the window.
Filling in information for different languages takes place in one window, unlike the traditional Joomla approach, when separate categories, materials, etc. are created for different languages.
