## Translation by File Name
Here's how to make your site multilingual using [translations by file name](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#translation-by-file-name):
1. Set up languages in your `hugo.toml` file:
{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
defaultContentLanguage = 'en'
[languages]
[languages.en]
weight = 1
languageName = 'English'
languageCode = 'en'
title = 'My Website'
[languages.pir]
weight = 2
languageName = 'Pirrratish'
languageCode = 'art-x-pir'
languageDirection = 'rtl'
title = 'Arrr, my Website'
{{< /multiconfig >}}
2. Duplicate your content files and add language codes to their file names:
````plaintext
├── content
│ ├── first-chapter
│ │ ├── first-page
| | | ├── _index.en.md
| | | └── _index.pir.md
│ │ ├── second-page
| | | ├── index.en.md
| | | └── index.pir.md
│ │ ├── third-page.en.md
│ │ └── third-page.pir.md
│ ├── _index.en.md
│ └── _index.pir.md

## Translation by Content Directory
The theme also support [translations by content directory](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#translation-by-content-directory) which can be configured in a similar way. This is not used in further examples of this documentation.
## Search Settings
Check the [search configuration](configuration/sidebar/search#mixed-language-support) for multilingual options.
## Turn Off Language Switching
{{% badge style="cyan" icon="gears" title=" " %}}Option{{% /badge %}} By default the theme shows a language switcher in the lower part of the menu.
To disable the language switcher set `disableLanguageSwitchingButton=true`
{{< multiconfig file=hugo >}}
[params]

{{< /multiconfig >}}
