Editing and Deleting a Language
Select a language and use Edit or Delete in the toolbar.Duplicating a Language
Via Duplicate you create a complete copy of a language, including pages, collections, building blocks and navigation. To do so, open a language with Edit and click Duplicate at the top of the dialog. With an empty prompt, the language is copied 1:1. With an AI prompt, the content is translated in the background, even for large websites without a timeout.- AI prompt (optional): Translation instruction for the AI, e.g. “Translate all content”. If the field remains empty, the language is copied without translation.
- Link language prefix: Prefix for the internal links of the copy (e.g.
engenerates links under/en/...). It is independent of the language code, so that a later renaming of the code does not break the links. Leave empty to use the code of the new language. - Enable synchronization: Enables the sync from the source with the same AI prompt on the copied pages and collections (interval: manual). Building blocks and navigation are translated only once.
