The multi-language module allows users to add translations for glossary terms. You can customize the available languages to match your organization’s needs and filter both terms and translations on your pages.

## Enable Multi-Language on Glossary

You can enable the multi-language (terms translation) feature for each glossary individually:

### Case 1 : New Glossary

When creating a new glossary, you can set multi-language module to enabled as displayed below:

### Case 2 : Existing Glossary

If your glossary already exists, you can simply edit the glossary to enable language module.

## Glossary Multi-language Configuration 

In order to support users configuration we provided two modes when using multi-language module.

### Mode 1: All terms share the same source language

If your glossary contains terms that by default have the same language, you can avoid having to set that language every time you create a new term. 

By selecting the first option, you can configure the default language within a list of 24 languages.
