Multi-Language Support

Build multilingual websites with Ycode’s localization system. You add languages, translate content, and publish translations independently.

Adding Languages

1. Go to project settings
2. Navigate to the Languages (or Locales) section
3. Add the languages you want to support
4. Set one language as the default
5. Mark languages as published when they are ready for visitors

Each locale has a code (e.g. en, fr, de), a label, and flags for default and published status.

Draft and Publish

Locales and translations use a draft/publish workflow. You edit translations in draft mode and publish when ready. Visitors see only published content until you publish updates.

Translating Content

Translations are stored per source type and source ID. Supported sources:

Each translation has a content_key, content_type (text, richtext, or asset_id), and content_value. Mark translations as completed to track progress.

URL Structure

Each language uses its own URL prefix based on the locale code:

• Default language: /about (no prefix)
• French: /fr/about
• German: /de/about

The locale code appears in the path for all non-default languages. This structure is SEO-friendly and lets search engines index each language version.

Locale Selector Element

Add a locale selector element to your pages so visitors can switch languages. The element displays available locales and links to the same page in each language. Configure which locales appear and how the selector is styled.

Publishing Translations

When you finish translating:

1. Review draft translations
2. Publish the locale if it is new
3. Publish translations from draft to published

Published translations appear on the live site. Unpublishing reverts to the previous published version or the default language.
