N2 supports several powerful localization options. You can create locale-specific versions of your site targeted at different language profiles, and/or you can make specific strings within your application localizable. This allows you to author content in multiple languages into a single ContentItem.

We'll assume that you have already set up the site root(s) you want. For help setting up language-specific site roots (called LanguageIntersections), please refer to Site and Language Roots.

This article is a work in progress. Contributions are much welcomed and appreciated!
