How do I deactivate and reactivate languages?
Please note that when deactivating or reactivating languages, you may need to wait up to 10 minutes for the change to take effect due to caching.
If you decide you want to deactivate a language or multiple languages when in Private Mode or Live, please go to the Project Settings -> Language Settings page:
On this page, you can deactivate languages which will remove them from your selector while keeping the active languages in place. To deactivate languages, click on the minus symbol next to the languages you want to deactivate, and then click "Confirm" in the pop-up.
Please note:
1) Languages that have been deactivated will not be visible in your selector, even when viewing your website in Private Mode.
2) Deactivating all languages will remove the language selector from your website entirely.
Historical data for inactive languages, including Words Served, will be retained. Additionally, any customizations made to the target language prior to deactivation, such as glossary rules or translation edits, will be preserved in the event that the language is ever reactivated in the future.
Inactive languages can then be reactivated at any time by clicking the plus sign next to the applicable language on the Language Settings page, and then clicking "Reactivate" on the tooltip:
Reactivating a language will put it back into your language selector.
