Installing a Language Pack

Confluence ships with a number of bundled language packs. These languages appear as options on the 'Language Configuration' screen in the Administration Console when choosing a default language and as 'Language' options for users in their user settings.

Confluence is available in these languages right out of the box:

  • Čeština (Česká republika | Czech Republic)
  • Dansk (Danmark | Denmark)
  • Deutsch (Deutschland | Germany)
  • English (UK)
  • English (US)
  • Español (España | Spain)
  • Français (France)
  • Italiano (Italia | Italy)
  • Magyar (Magyarország | Hungary)
  • Nederlands (Nederland | The Netherlands)
  • Norsk (Norge | Norway)
  • Polski (Polska | Poland)
  • Português (Brasil | Brazil)
  • Suomi (Suomi | Finland)
  • Svenska (Sverige | Sweden)
  • Русский (Россия | Russia)
  • 中文 (中国 | China)
  • 日本語 (日本 | Japan)
  • 한국어 (대한민국 | Republic of Korea)

The following languages are still bundled, but we no longer translate new features for these languages. 

  • Eesti (Eesti | Estonia)
  • Íslenska (Ísland | Iceland)
  • Slovenčina (Slovenská republika | Slovak Republic)
  • Română (România | Romania)

You can make additional languages available by installing language pack apps. You'll need to be a Confluence administrator to install a language pack. 

Installing additional language packs

We no longer provide community translations for Confluence. You can find a small number of third-party language packs on the Atlassian Marketplace

Showing User Interface Key Names for Translation

This feature is useful if you are troubleshooting translations of the Confluence user interface. After opening the Confluence dashboard, you can add the following action to the end of your Confluence URL:

?i18ntranslate=on


For example http://myconfluencesite.com?i18ntranslate=on

This will cause each element of the user interface to display its special key name. This makes it easier to find the context for each key within the user interface. 

The key names are displayed with a 'lightning bolt' graphic. Here's an example from a space sidebar:

To turn off the translation view, add the following to the end of the Confluence URL:

?i18ntranslate=off
