On a multilingual website we’ve setup a 404 page. I see that when this page is displayed the global areas show the language that was previously opened, which is perfectly fine. But how do I translate the content, the message people read?
I tried some different ways and thought a Stack would be helpful because they can be localized.
For example:
1. Go to [Solutions d'extraction de poussière | Formula Air](https://www.formula-air.com/fr) (now you are on French language)
2. Go to [https://www.formula-air.com/fr/non-existing-page](https://www.formula-air.com/fr/non-existing-page)
The 404-page will show with navigation in French, but content in English. I did see similar topics, but didn’t find an answer for me there, for example “Multi Language - 404 Page not using default language”

To clarify; I’m concerned with the content of the 404 page. It shows the correct navigation, but the content on the page appears not to be translatable.
How can I translate my 404 page?

Hi @RuudZuiderlicht,
So you are placing a stack on that section of the page and making it multilingual?
A couple things you might try:
1.) Making a global area on your 404 page template in your theme - that might behave better in a multilingual context?
2.) You might be able to t() string some content and hardcode your message in there.
