# Multi-language

Zero One is multi-language ready, and actually, in config.php it is set to `'languages' => true`. With English as the main language. And serving it as site root as a base. So, every `.txt` file in `content` folder has `.en.txt` at the end. 

{% hint style="warning" %}
Have in mind that Site Settings are also translatable, which means that you can have different settings per language. 
{% endhint %}

### If English is your website default language

And you want to add more languages, just go to Kirby Settings -> Languages, add a new language and start translating your content. Everything will work as expected.

### If English is NOT your website default language

Go to Kirby Settings -> Languages, and delete English as a default language. Add your language as the default language. That's it, you can start working.&#x20;

There is just one thing. If you want your default language to be at domain root, you will have to go to `zero-one/site/languages/[yourlanguageextension].php`, open it with a text editor and

```markup
# Change this
'url' => NULL

# Into this
'url' => '/'
```

When saved, your language will be at domain/folder root.

### Languages detect support

From version 2.1.0 support for automatic language detection exist in Zero One.&#x20;

You just have to add to **`config.php`** next option:

```
'languages.detect' => true,
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you are using multi-domain ([separate domain for language](https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/languages#a-separate-domain-for-each-language)), language detect can't work, so please turn it off. You can remove whole language detect code from config file.
{% endhint %}

### RTL support

{% hint style="info" %}
Theme Styler by default doesn't support RTL language, small code changes are needed for that to work. **Contact us for help with that.**&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Zero One supports RTL (right-to-left) languages.&#x20;

**But website styling must be done only by** [**LESS/CSS styling**](https://www.one.thezero.club/guide/theme-styling/less-css-setup)**.**&#x20;

But to enable support on the front-end you'll have to [override](https://www.one.thezero.club/guide/theme-extending) `site/plugins/zero-one/snippets/header.php` and instead of

```markup
<?= css(['assets/app/dist/css/uikit.app.min.css']) ?>
```

Add

```markup
<?= css(['assets/app/dist/css/uikit.app-rtl.min.css']) ?>
```

And when you compile CSS files <https://www.one.thezero.club/guide/theme-styling/less-css-setup#compile> instead of `pnpm compile` you'll have to use `pnpm compile-rtl`.
