If you select Define a custom default language and additional active languages for this space, additional fields appear:
-
Default Language: Select the main language for the space.
-
Available Languages: Lists all supported languages. Move languages to Selected with the (

Prioritize languages based on your audience to ensure content is displayed correctly.
