From 34bc2bb4b317ca1402aa9d58ecf5d98258ca53d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lina Wolf <48202465+linawolf@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 17:47:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [TASK] Revise the page about setting up languages MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The page said that TYPO3 generates "a very basic site configuration on the fly", but not when it does so or what the configuration contains. TYPO3 creates it for a new page on the root level, with English as its only language. The tip and the links used the passive voice and :ref: links, and the caption named العربية as Arabic.
