==Quick Tips==
*Users can use any Language from the list of installed Languages, either by having it assigned in the [[Help40:Users/en|Users list]] or by filling out a [[Help40:Menu_Item:_New_Item/en#User_Form_Layout/|Menu Items - New/Edit - User Form Layout]] at the Front end. This will cause the Joomla! system prompts to be generated in this Language just for this User. For example, if a User chooses Spanish as their language, then the Search Module will show with prompts in Spanish.
*This User's choice is not affected by the Default Language set for the Front-end.
:*Changing a User's Language or the Default Language does not affect the web site's Articles and other content.
*'''Important''': Do not delete the default language files (for example, with FTP). This will create errors on both the Front-end and Back-end.
*Additional Languages can be added using the [[Help40:Extensions_Extension_Manager_Languages/en|Install Languages Screen]].
*If desired, you can show the Front-end site in one Language and show the Back-end administration pages in a different Language. Also, individual articles can be configured to use a different language in the Advanced Parameter pane when editing the Article.
