so I'm new to Magento and I'm making an online store for a client using Magento 2 CE.
Their company is based in Canada so they want to have a language selector for English
and French
.
I normally make websites in WordPress, and have no idea where to start for Magento.. Would I need to make multiple stores, or what? Also how do I add the french translation content into the store?
Sorry if this is super simple, I'm trying to learn but don't want to learn the wrong way… if that makes any sense

To create 2 different languages for website, first you need to create other store view
(admin > Stores > All Stores > Create Store View)
- Name:
French
- Code:
fr
- Status:
Enable
Second, set default language for each store view
(Store > Configuration [General])
For default store view, at
Locale Options
set Locate isEnglist (United States)
:Save config
Change Store view to
French
Uncheck
Use Website
and changeLocale
toFrench (Canada)
Save config. Done
Note: You can change
Default Store View
toEnglish
