+Multiple Languages
+++++++++++++++++++
+
+Generally speaking, you'll want to follow :ref:`i18n` in the Installation Guide to set up multiple languages such as English and French.
+
+To set up the toggle between English and French, we'll use a slight variation on the command in the instructions above, adding the unblock key we created above:
+
+``curl "http://localhost:8080/api/admin/settings/:Languages?unblock-key=unblockme" -X PUT -d '[{"locale":"en","title":"English"},{"locale":"fr","title":"Français"}]'``
+
+Similarly, when loading the "languages.zip" file, we'll add the unblock key:
+
+``curl "http://localhost:8080/api/admin/datasetfield/loadpropertyfiles?unblock-key=unblockme" -X POST --upload-file /tmp/languages/languages.zip -H "Content-Type: application/zip"``
+
+Stop and start the Dataverse container in order for the language toggle to work.
+
+Note that ``dataverse.lang.directory=/dv/lang`` has already been configured for you in the ``compose.yml`` file. The step where you loaded "languages.zip" should have populated the ``/dv/lang`` directory with files ending in ".properties".
+
