Setting up Sites

The first step for a mul­ti­lin­gual web­site with Craft CMS is to cre­ate at least two sites. You can do this in the back­end in the Con­trol Pan­el Set­tings, in the Sites configuration. 

One thing to note right away is that Sites are part of the project con­fig, so they’re tracked in the con­fig fold­er. That means you can only cre­ate and con­fig­ure sites in a devel­op­ment envi­ron­ment. You can’t change or add sites in the pro­duc­tion envi­ron­ment, where con­fig changes are disabled.

The con­cept of Sites in Craft CMS is used for both mul­ti-lan­guage and mul­ti-site setups, so you can cre­ate both mul­ti­lin­gual sites, and even cre­ate mul­ti­ple web­sites that each come in mul­ti­ple dif­fer­ent languages.
