Change language in portals

I don't think you can do it. That is not possible as of now.

Have you tried displaying a "chooser" page with a dynamicLink which stores the language in a local variable which you pass on to a sub interface?

So for that, we need to set up portals for each language then we have to display accordingly, right?

You could do that and just have a safe link to go between the two. This is you have localized portal title and pages.

Otherwise, you could try something like this:

a!localVariables(
  local!language,
  local!bundle: index(
    {
      en_US: { test_label: "English" },
      fr_CA: { test_label: "Français" }
    },
    local!language,
    null
  ),
  {
    a!richTextDisplayField(
      value: {
        a!richTextItem(
          text: {
            a!defaultValue(
              local!bundle["test_label"],
              "Choose a language"
            ),
            
          },
          link: a!dynamicLink(
            saveInto: {
              a!save(
                local!language,
                if(local!language = "fr_CA", "en_US", "fr_CA")
              )
            }
          )
        )
      }
    )
  }
)

I understood, but here we are basically hard coding the labels with different languages, but I am trying to provide support for more than 60 languages (more languages are planned to be added later) throughout the portal which contains several labels. If I go by your suggestion then it will be a very hectic task to develop and maintain that. I just wanted to know if it is possible to convert the labels to a user-selected language seamlessly without hard-coding the contents.

Yes. You can use the load resource bundle plugin, but you will have to expose it via an API since it is not directly supported for Portals.
