Allow patrons and guests to view select pages in French or Spanish

Select the French or Spanish checkbox, or both, to let your patrons and guests view and use select pages in French or Spanish. Your patrons always have the ability to return to English.

After saving the configuration, an Espanol button, a Francais button, or both, appear at the bottom of the side menu in the Catalog.

When viewing the selected language, there is an English button.
