1. Click **Site Configuration** | **Languages** on the Overview tab.
2. Select a language in Site Languages.
3. Update the options in Language Settings:
    
     
    | Option | Description |
    | --- | --- |
    | Active on Live Site | If you add a language selector element on your active site, this checkbox controls whether the language shows in the drop-down list. Use the property to hide a language until you're ready to release the associated content to your site visitors. |
    | Fallback Language | The fallback language displays when there's no content available for the currently selected language. For example, if a site visitor chooses Japanese from the language selector, but there is no content for that page in Japanese, content in the fallback language is displayed instead. |
    | Display Label | You can define the display label for each language. It appears in any language selectors you add to your site, and in the Site.com Studio language selector. |
