# Overview

#### What Crimson’s multilingual feature is

Crimson (v1.0.2+) provides a **framework** for running your Ghost publication in multiple languages—meaning your visitors can switch languages using a **language selector in the header**.

#### What it is not

Crimson **does not automatically translate** your content. You must create and publish separate posts/pages per language yourself, or use a translation service.

#### Built-in language support (out of the box)

Crimson ships with structure for:

* English (default)
* Hindi
* Spanish

#### The “big idea” in one line

Crimson uses separate Ghost installs per language, and can switch between them using either subfolders like `/hi/` and `/es/` or locale-specific domains/subdomains.
