Side by side
Language and site defaulting
The frontend detects your site with IP geolocation (backed by a MaxMind GeoLite2 database) and defaults the language accordingly. You can override the language through the site’s language switcher; the default language just omits the?lang= query parameter. Thirteen languages are supported: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic, and Hindi.
The site itself is switched by domain, not by language: ariacompute.com and ariacompute.cn are separate deployments with separate databases.
