Under Administration → Languages you manage the language versions of your website, e.g. German and English. Each language has its own page tree as well as its own metadata and settings.

Language List

The list shows the description, code (e.g. de, en) and the number of menu items per language. Via the toolbar you create a language with + New, open it with Edit or remove it with Delete.

Creating a New Language

Click + New. The dialog “Create new language” is divided into several sections. Via Show more you display additional fields per section.
  • Code: Language abbreviation (e.g. de)
  • Locale code: Regional variant (e.g. de-DE)
  • hreflang code: Language code for the hreflang attribute in the source code (up to 35 characters). Leave empty to use the locale code as a fallback.
  • Description: Display name of the language (up to 45 characters)
Browser title, meta description, meta keywords and browser language codes. The latter determine for which browser languages this language version is delivered automatically.
Defaults for the preview when sharing on social networks: OG title, OG description and OG image URL (via Select image).
These settings are only relevant if you additionally use dynamic commerce.
Link with the shop:
  • Login/logout page and login/logout language
  • Shop tenant, shop code and shop language
  • Active: Enables maintenance mode for this language
  • From / To: Period during which maintenance mode applies
  • Active: Makes the language available on the website
Save via Save or Save and close.

Editing and Deleting a Language

Select a language and use Edit or Delete in the toolbar.
When deleting a language, its page tree and the associated content are lost. The operation cannot be undone.

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. en generates 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.
Click Duplicate to start the process. The translation continues to run in the background, so you can continue working normally.
