# Multilingual Projects

JMap projects can be configured to support several languages. This way, each user can view the project in his or her own language, as long as the language is available and the translations have been provided. When a JMap application is launched, it can automatically identify the language of the user’s operating system and use this language for the project and graphical interfaces. This behavior depends on the options selected when deploying the application.

For a project supporting multiple languages, each text element that is visible to the users can be translated into each language. For example, you can provide translations for the project name, the names of the layers, labels, mouseover bubbles, forms, etc.

To enable multilingual support, you must choose at least 2 languages when creating or editing a project. You must also select the default language.

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="201.5"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Languages</strong></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Available languages</td><td>Select the languages that will be available for the project. At least one language must be selected.</td></tr><tr><td>Default language</td><td>Choose the default language among those that are available. When you enter text in the various configuration sections of the project and layers, you must enter it in the default language.If the user’s language is not supported for the project or if translations are missing, JMap will automatically use the default language.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Afterwards, you can enter the translations in the sections identified with the ![img](/files/0KoxTR8qC6Ojn2IDG1zT) symbol when configuring the project and layers.

If translations are not provided in all available languages for certain text elements, the text will automatically be displayed in the default language.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-jmapserver-lima.k2geospatial.com/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/resources-projects/creating-projects/multilingual-projects.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
