We wish to support both english and german languages. We use tutor version 17 (Open edX Quince release) and the tutor-indigo theme.

Apparently, the tutor-indigo theme has a built-in language selector. Our questions are:

1. How do we configure the default and additional supported languages for open edX?

2. Where are translations stored? How do we update them?

3. How do we enable and configure the tutor-indigo language selector to use our default language setting and show all our supported languages?

4. Will language settings work everywhere? Will mfes need additional translation adjustments?

5. We won’t have non-developers updating translations, can we avoid paying for Transifex?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

If you want your site to support multiple languages, you can follow this guide: [How to Enable Multiple Languages for Your Open edX Platform](https://discuss.overhang.io/t/howto-enable-multiple-languages-for-your-open-edx-platform/140). Alternatively, if you want the platform to be in a specific language, you can follow my solution below The way translation is handled in the MFEs differ from how the platform hand…
