Create localizations
To deliver content to specific markets, you create localizations. A localization is an exact copy of a primary content item or an existing localization with a different locale assigned. After you create a localization, you can translate the content and update the content item.
To create localizations, locales must already be defined.
If the content item is a localization, it is indicated on the content item's details page. In the following example, this content item is the Swedish localization and the primary content item is in English.
When you create a localization and the primary content item contains reference fields, you can create localizations of the reference items at the same time, or later if you prefer.
To create a localization:
-
On the menu bar, click Content.
-
On the Content page, click the content item for which you want to create a localization.
-
On the content item details page, in the LOCALIZATION section, click
Add localization. -
In the Add localization dialog, enter the name of the locale and then select it. As you type, the list of locales is filtered to match what you enter.
-
Click Add or Continue.
If the content item includes reference items that are not localized, the Localize reference items dialog opens.
-
In the Localize reference items dialog, do one of the following:
-
To create a localization of a reference item, click Localize and then click Continue.
-
To open the reference item in a new tab, click Open in new window
. -
To skip the localization step for reference items, click Continue.
