73 === Language Settings ===
74
75 The default value of the option [[{{code}}xwiki.language.forceSupported{{/code}}>>doc:Documentation.AdminGuide.Configuration.WebHome||anchor="HLanguagesettings"]] is now set to true.
76 That means that only the supported languages defined in the Administration (section Content > Internationalization) will be used to display the wiki to our users.
77 If you want to support the previous behaviour, you can edit the default value of the option in {{code}}xwiki.cfg{{/code}} by setting it to 0:
