4 In the [[settings>>doc:LMS.Benutzerhandbuch OPAL.Meine Lernplattform.Meine Einstellungen.WebHome||shape="rect"]] area, users can choose which system language they want to use. Depending on the language, all system functions, notes and buttons will then be automatically displayed in the selected language.

In the tab **Multilingualism**, you can define a default language for the course and independently provide and maintain course content in different languages.
