# Internationalisation (i18n)

# Introduction

This sample will explain and demonstrate the i18n capabilities. Issue FOR-707 has some discussion and doc links. We need to summarise it all into this demo.

# Using the locale request parameter

As a simple example of Forrest's i18n functionality, you can view this demo page. To see alternative language versions of this page, append the `locale` request parameter, e.g. `localhost:8888/samples/demo-i18n.html?locale=fr`

There are some other laguage demos (de, fr, nl).

This only works in 'forrest run' mode. There are other ways to switch, this is just one way of demonstrating these features.
