It is possible to enable **multiple languages** for:

With the base language configured, you can **auto-translate** the document into any other active language (currently supported in **Simple Editor** and **Markdown** only).  

* Example: Start from English → Auto translate to French 🇫🇷.  
* After a few minutes, the translated version will appear.  

📌 *You can then switch between languages within the same document.*
