# Add a site policy translation

You can have multiple translations of your [site policies](/totara-20/docs/what-are-site-policies), which is helpful if your users speak multiple languages, or if you work across multiple countries. Allowing a site policy to be presented in a user's chosen language means that they have a better chance of understanding it.

To add a site policy translation, follow these steps:

1. Go to *Quick-access menu > Security > Site policies > Manage policies****.***
2. Click the name of the policy you wish to translate.
3. Click **View** in the **Translations** column alongside the version you wish to translate.
4. Select the language you wish to add from the **Add translation** dropdown list.
5. Complete the translation.
6. Click **Save**.

Note that when creating a translation you will only be able to choose from the languages that have been activated on your site.

Whilst creating the translation you will see a locked version of the original policy, which can help you in translating it correctly.

You can edit (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/edit.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T07%3A05%3A42Z&se=2026-11-06T08%3A05%3A42Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3oXfc1cPLH%2FwJAFGl%2F%2FrT9sl%2F%2BPG%2BJCNBid2GpZaK%2Fo%3D)) any language version (including the primary language), but in the translation screen you can only delete (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/thin_cross.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T07%3A05%3A42Z&se=2026-11-06T08%3A05%3A42Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=3oXfc1cPLH%2FwJAFGl%2F%2FrT9sl%2F%2BPG%2BJCNBid2GpZaK%2Fo%3D)) the translated versions (not the primary language version). When you are done you can click the **Back to all versions** link to publish this version.
