Steps
To set the default language for the current Page when editing with the Wiki editor or with the WYSIWYG Standalone editor:
- Select the content language you want to use, by using the "Default Language" section inside the "Page Information" Panel.
- Save the modifications (or discard them) using the Realtime Edit Actions.
FAQ
Why am I not seeing the "Default Language" section in the Panel?
- It's probably because your administrator hasn't set up your wiki to be multilingual.
- It could be because you're viewing a translation and not the Original content (Default Page Content) of the Page.
XWiki <17.8.0, <17.4.5, <16.10.12
Why are they called "Languages" when editing, and "Locales" when viewing the Page?
There were some inconsistencies in the UI, but XWiki 17.8.0+, 17.4.5+, 16.10.12+ the UI displays "Language" in the "Information" tab.
