Language switch for page without external translation (but manually translated)?

Christoph Pieper

I want to give users the option to view the page in a previously selected language (a language selector button would be nice). For privacy & compliance reasons I do not want any external translation functionality (like DeepL).

I want to give the editors of the page the option to select maybe german and create a german version of the content not necessarily with exact the same content (like e.g. wikipedia does). Anyway, a side-by-side view would be nice.

I think it's similar to a page version selector but for languages.

Is there any plugin for that or a possibility to use that functionality?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Christoph Pieper
Welcome to the Atlassian community!

There are a couple of apps on the store that can do what you need. One of them is our Lango app.

Lango offers several features that allow you to manage translations manually. You can create new translations from scratch as independent pages and use the link function to connect original content to its respective translations. This occurs within the Confluence instance without sending data to external translators.

The language switcher works whether you create translations automatically (using external providers like DeepL) or manually for compliance reasons, as in your case.
