  2. Select Edit.
    The Site Properties page opens.
  3. Select the Localization page.
  4. From the Default Language drop-down list, select the default language to display in the Language Selector on the Site Application Bar.

Override Site Options for Each Language

By default, each Site uses the startup action, login action, and custom Search Widget defined on the Display Properties page. You can override these options for each language.

To override Site options for a language:

  1. Open a Site in the Site Editor (CSM Administrator > Site Manager > Portal Site Name).
  2. Select Edit.
    The Site Properties page opens.
  3. Select the Localization page.
  4. Select the language you want to override, and then select Edit.
  5. From the View drop-down list, select custom Views you may have defined for the language. If you use a Role-based View, the View associated with an appropriately assigned language is used.
  6. Select the Custom Startup Action check box, and then select the startup action for the translated Site. For example, if you have a translated Dashboard or HTML Page, you can select that.
  7. Select the Custom login action check box, and then select the login action for the translated Site.
