To see the exact status for each language or if you wish to help, check our translation wiki (for example you can see the status of translations for XWiki Enteprise).
Preferences
Setting up languages is done in the Administration (link on the top right of every page).
Switch to another language
By default the language displayed will be the one coming from the browser. However, on every page you can choose to switch between the different language translations that exist for the page. To do so click on the language name in the top right corner of the screen as shown in the following screenshots. Note that you can also force a language by suffixing a URL with language=<2-letter language code>. In addition you can configure your wiki to always use a specific language or force a single language to be used.

Edit a translation
When editing a page, a panel indicates which language is currently being edited. You can always check whether you are working on the right page depending on the language you want to write in.
