Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Hi all,

I am writing to request a function that would allow us to switch the language of the website. As the OpenLayers community continues to grow, it is important that the website is accessible to users of different languages. Many members of the Spanish-speaking community, including myself, would be willing to contribute to the translation of the website into different languages.

Would it be possible to implement this feature in a future update? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thanks.

Research direction

The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point for the website. First determine where the website is implemented and whether it already has localization support; completion would require an agreed language-switching scope and a defined way to verify translated website content.
