Set up the project

# Languages and translations

7 min

Multilingual storefronts need maintained translations. This lesson shows how languages are created and assigned to the domains of a market, how translations are maintained in Studio and imported or exported as a file, and why hreflang matters for search engines. All languages of the market are then available in Studio.

## Key takeaways

- Each domain of a market has a language.
- Translations can be exchanged as files.
- hreflang links the language versions for search engines.

  Languages and markets are set up in Cockpit under Translations and Markets, and Studio uses them in its market and language switcher. Translatable fields are maintained per language; empty fields show the value of the fallback language.
- [Import and export translations](https://academy.laioutr.com/en/artikel/import-and-export-translations)6 min

  Under Translations, Export downloads all translatable content of a project as a JSON file; Import applies the edited file and reports how many values were applied or skipped.
- [Multilingual SEO and hreflang](https://academy.laioutr.com/en/artikel/multilingual-seo-hreflang)6 min

  Laioutr sets canonical, hreflang alternates, x-default, og:locale and the lang attribute on every page automatically. They are based on the languages under Translations, the domains under Markets and the translated page paths in Studio.
