14 April 2025

Translate the home page to Spanish.

The Home content item must exist. See Section 5.2, “Creating a Content Item”.
The core Content Translation module must be installed, and your site must have at least two languages. See Section 10.1, “Adding a Language”.
The Basic page content type must be configured to be translatable. See Section 10.2, “Configuring Content Translation”.

In the Manage administrative menu, navigate to Content (admin/content).
Locate the home page. You can search for it by entering "Home" in the title field.
Select Translate from the dropdown button in the row of the Home content item. The page Translations of Home appears.
Click Add in the row Spanish.
Note that the user interface has switched to Spanish. To switch it back to English, remove the first instance of es in the browser’s URL. For example, if your URL looks like example.com/es/node/5/translations/add/en/es, remove the es that comes immediately after example.com.
