This tool manages which interface languages users can choose from — it does not manage translation strings themselves (those come from the language packs shipped with Chamilo, not from anything editable here).
From the administration panel, click Platform > Languages.
Toggle availability — Enable or disable each of the shipped languages as a choice on the login page and in user profile settings, with a simple on/off switch per row
Set the platform default — Choose which language is used when no user preference applies; the current default is marked with its own icon and can't be hidden
Disable all except the default — A single bulk action to strip the language picker down to just your platform's default language
Edit the native name — Adjust how a language's own name is displayed (its "original name") in the picker
If you disable a language that active users have already selected as their interface language, Chamilo asks for confirmation and — if you confirm — migrates every affected user to the platform default language. There's no partial state where a user is left with a now-hidden language selected.
If the Allow sub-languages setting is enabled, additional actions appear for creating "sub-languages" — partial overrides of a parent language, historically used for regional dialects or organization-specific terminology tweaks. This is a legacy feature; most installations won't need it.
