+On this page you can set your preferred languages for the &plasma; Workspace and
+Applications to be displayed in.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The &plasma; Workspace and &kde; Applications are written in American English and are
+translated into many different languages by teams of volunteers. These
+translations need to be installed first before you can choose to use them.
+</para>
+<note><para>Ensure that you have installed the &plasma; language packages or translations for the
+languages you want to use.</para>
+<para>As &plasma; is build upon the &Qt; libraries, you need the &Qt; translations for the selected
+languages as well to have a fully localized &GUI;.</para></note>
+
+<para>
+The list shows the localized language names that will
+be used when displaying the &plasma; Workspace and Applications. Because not all
+of the &plasma; Workspace and Applications may be translated into every language
+&plasma; will try to find suitable translations for you by working down the
+list until it finds a translation. If
+none of your preferred languages have a required translation then the original
+American English will be used.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can add a language to the main list by clicking the <guibutton>Add language</guibutton>
+button.
+The localized language names of &systemsettings; translations
+installed and available on your system are displayed. If the language you want to use is
+not shown in this list then you will need to install it using the usual method
+for your system.
+Select one or more languages in the list and click <guibutton>Add</guibutton>.
+</para>
+<para>You can remove a language from the main list by selecting it and then clicking
+on the <inlinemediaobject><imageobject><imagedata fileref="list-remove.png" format="PNG"/>
+</imageobject></inlinemediaobject> icon. You can change the order of preference in the
+list by selecting a language and clicking on the <inlinemediaobject><imageobject>
+<imagedata fileref="go-top.png" format="PNG"/>
+</imageobject></inlinemediaobject> icon.
+</para>
+
+<para>Only languages with installed &systemsettings; translations will be offered as options
+for <guilabel>Primary language</guilabel> and <guilabel>Fallback language</guilabel>
+in the <guilabel>Switch Application Language</guilabel> dialog of the 
+<guimenu>Help</guimenu> menu.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+Language and Formats are independent settings. Changing a language does
+<emphasis>not</emphasis> automatically change the settings for numbers,
+currency &etc; to the corresponding country or region.
