- In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Configuration > Region and language > Languages (admin/config/regional/language).
- Click Add language.
Select Spanish (or your preferred language) from the Language name select list. Click Add language. After waiting for translations to finish downloading, you will be returned to the Languages page, with a confirmation message and the new language shown.
- Follow the steps in Section 8.3, “Placing a Block in a Region” to place the Language switcher block in the Sidebar second region. This will enable site visitors to switch between languages, once the site has been translated.
