Editing multilingual content
When the site runs in several languages, every piece of content has its own version per language. Switch languages with the language tabs at the top of a block's edit panel, and you can leave the translation to the AI (AI page actions → Translate the page to…, or Translate to… per block). Switching a new language on does not translate anything by itself.
Which languages the site runs in is decided on the Languages tab in Settings (see: Application languages). This article is about filling in content per language.
Editing per language
- The top of a block's edit panel has language tabs; a filled language is marked. Switch language on one block and every edit panel follows.
- The page's Readiness checklist tells you when a language is missing the title, the meta description or block text.
- Images, videos, files and links can be overridden per language; if you leave them, the default is shown.
Translating with AI
- AI page actions → Translate the page to… – translates every block of the page; the toolbar's undo button reverts it.
- Per block, Translate to… in the block's AI menu. AI features use credits.
Addresses and visibility
- The primary language's addresses have no prefix (/about), other languages live under their own prefix (/de/about). You can set the URL slug separately per language in the page settings.
- Hide a page in a language with Visible in, a news item or event with Active per locale.
- Hide a block in certain languages with its Languages option. For different content per language, add one block per language and hide each in the other language.
- Menu item labels and visibility are set per language in the header menu.
Language switcher for visitors
The header's language switcher only appears when more than one language has published content. The Missing translations setting decides what happens when a page has no version in the chosen language: the language is not offered, or the visitor goes to the nearest existing parent page, or else the front page.
