Hey Prismic I'm new at Prismic. I just wanted to ask is there any boilerplate for Multi-language and navigation with slice machine, all in one boilerplate? ---

Hi @nzrahi123, Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Prismic community 🙂 We don't have a multilanguage example with Slice Machine yet. If you're using Next.js, you could look at the code for our [example Slice Machine project](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/launch-an-example-slice-machine-project-next.js) and the code for a [non-Slice Machine multi-language project](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/getting-started-examples-simple-nextjs). I hope that helps! Best, Sam ---

Hey @samlittlefair Many thanks I read [multilingual-templating](https://prismic.io/docs/technologies/multilingual-templating-nextjs) I can not understand how could I get alternate languages in home page and dynamic page. could you pls give me an example for home page and dynamic page? ---

In a 〜/pages/[lang]/[uid].js file: I use : ```auto const PageTemplate = ({ slices, alternate_languages, lang }) => { return (
); }; ``` but alternate\_languages is an empty array. In a 〜/pages/index.js file: I have no idea how can I get alternate\_languages; I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to resolve it! ---

Hey @nzrahi123 , Could you let me know your repo name so I can take a look at your language settings? (Feel free to send it in a DM if you don't want to share it publicly.) Sam ---

Hey @nzrahi123 , Thanks for sending your repo name 🙂 It looks like you haven't translated any documents yet. Once you translate a document, the details will start appearing in the alternate languages array. Let me know if the problem persists, or if I'm misunderstanding. Sam ---

aha first I should create a document in a different language? right? how about getting the alternate language In a 〜/pages/index.js file: ---

@nzrahi123 The process should be the same. In your index file, I assume you're querying a document from Prismic (maybe a "homepage" document). That document will have an alternate\_languages array. You'll need to decide how you want to link to alternate languages on the homepage. You might have: - `/` as your default language - `/cc-dd` as a secondary language Or, you could just make - `/` redirect to your primary language, `/aa-bb` - `/cc-dd` as your secondary language Of course, I'm sure there are many other ways to handle this as well. Let me know if you have any other questions. Sam ---
