Creating a multi-language store means moving it to the global level and that is one thing owners of Magento 2 stores should be keen on doing. It is quite obvious that managing a single language website is easier than multi-language, but just think for a while how many opportunities you will open. In this cycle of articles, we will prove to you that managing a multi-language website isn't as hard as you think it is.

So, to create a multi-language website take the following steps:

1. Create New Store View

In this article, you will learn what the store view is, what do you need to create it for, how to create it.

2. Install and Enable Magento 2 Language Packs

After reading this article you will know how to find and set up language packs in order to enable base localization on a multi-language Magento. 

Store View is the variation of your store in different languages. Every Magento 2 store initially has a default store view. You create other store views in order to support different languages in your store as well as for other purposes.

In order to create a new Magento 2 store view follow the steps:

1. Go to Stores > Settings > All stores and press the Create Store View button.

First, you need to download and install the language pack to set a new language on your store. In order to do this, you have to find a language pack you need. Enter e.g. "Magento 2 French locale GitHub" at Google, open the GitHub page, follow all the instructions to install the language package.

The next thing you have to do once you've installed the Magento 2 language pack is to activate it. In order to do it in the Magento 2 Admin Panel navigate to Stores > Configuration > General > Locale Options. In case you have several store views switch to the Store View you want to change the language for and in the Locale dropdown choose the corresponding language. 

In order to translate the Magento CMS Page follow the steps:
1. Navigate to Content > Elements > Pages. Note that the translation of the page requires manual creation of a new one so decide which page you want to translate.

2. Press the Add New Page to start.
