Websites that are geared for multi-language support have special codes you can use to display your admin sections in the language of your preference. An example of where this is used is the interface language of programs like MediaWiki, DokuWiki, or TikiWiki. You need to use a special code in the configuration file for the software to change your administration language. There are many different codes available that correlate to each different language. The table below is not completely exhaustive; however, most of the available languages and their correlating codes are below.
