SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a technology to encrypt data transfer between computers.
Sometimes your browser warns you about a missing or invalid certificate.
-These warnings can have three reasons:
+These warnings can have three reasons:
1. The server you are connected to doesn't offer SSL encryption.
2. The server has a self-signed certificate (not recommended).
This is possible by using the "paper-clip"-symbol in the editor.
These files will be linked to your post and can be downloaded by your contacts.
But it's not possible to get a preview for these items.
-Because of this, this upload method is only recommended for office or zipped files.
-If you want to share content from Dropbox, Owncloud or any other [filehoster](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_hosting_services), use the "link"-button (chain-symbol).

When you're adding URLs of other webpages with the "link"-button, Friendica tries to create a small preview.
If this doesn't work, try to add the link by typing: [url=http://example.com]*self-chosen name*[/url].
You can also add video and audio files to posts.
However, instead of a direct upload you have to use one of the following methods:
-1. Add the video or audio link of a hoster (Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud and anyone else with oembed/opengraph-support). Videos will be shown with a preview image you can click on to start. SoundCloud directly inserts a player to your post.

Friendica uses HTML5 for embedding content.
Therefore, the supported files are dependent on your browser and operating system.
-Some supported filetypes are WebM, MP4, MP3 and OGG.

### Is it possible to have different avatars per profile?
-Yes. On your Edit/Manage Profiles page, you will find a "change profile photo" link.
+Yes.
+On your Edit/Manage Profiles page, you will find a "change profile photo" link.
Clicking this will take you to a page where you can upload a photograph and select which profile it will be associated with.
To avoid privacy leakage, we only display the photograph associated with your default profile as the avatar in your posts.
+<a name="language"></a>
+### How can I view Friendica in a certain language?
+
+You can do this by adding the `lang` parameter to the url in your url bar.
+The data in the parameter is a [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) code.
+A question mark is required for the separation between url and parameters.
+
+Example:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example
+
+in German:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example?lang=de.
+
+If the question mark is already in the url you need to do it using a ampersand.
+
+Example:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example?tab=profile
+
+in German:
+
+ https://social.example.com/profile/example?tab=profile&lang=de.
+
+When a certain language is forced, the language remains until session is closed.

### What is the difference between blocked|ignored|archived|hidden contacts?
<a name="hashtag"></a>
### Can I follow a hashtag?
-No. The act of 'following' a hashtags is an interesting technology, but presents a few issues.
-
-1. Posts would have to be copied to all sites on the network that are "listening" to that hashtag. This would increase the storage demands to the detriment of small sites. It would make the use of shared hosting practically impossible.
-
-2. Making spam easy (tag spam is a serious issue on Twitter for instance)
-
-3. It creates a natural bias towards large sites which hold more tagged content - if your network uses tagging instead of other conversation federation mechanisms such as groups/forums.
-
-Instead, we offer other mechanisms for wide-area conversations while retaining a 'level playing ground' for both large and small sites, such as forums and community pages and shared tags.
+Yes. Simply add the hash tag to your saved searches.
+The posts will appear on your network page.
+For technical reasons, your answers to such posts won't appear on the "personal" tab in the network page and the whole thread isn't accessible via the API.
