The language fallback pipelines

Current version: 9.0

Language fallback uses the following pipelines defined in the Sitecore.config file and various processors defined in the Sitecore.LanguageFallback.config file.

Note

You can extend and customize the pipelines by adding custom processors or replacing the default ones, but this can degrade the performance.
