AX - Language Selector
Overview
AX - Language Selector is an Experience Cloud component that displays a language picker on Experience Sites pages, letting portal users switch between available languages.
Use it to provide multilingual support for international customers or partners. The component displays all active languages configured for your Experience Site and updates the page content when users select a different language.
Perfect for global customer portals, international partner sites, multi-region support centers, or any portal serving users who speak different languages.
