How does Hygraph support content localization?

Hygraph provides built-in localization features, allowing editors to create and manage content in multiple languages. Each language is represented as a locale, which can be added to content entries. Editors can enter translations for each locale directly within the content editor, and fields can be configured as 'Localized fields' for per-field granularity. This enables efficient management of multilingual content without duplicating entries.

How do I add a new localization to my content in Hygraph?

To add a new localization, navigate to the content editor tab, select the desired view, and click '+ Add entry'. In the right sidebar, click the '+' icon next to the locale you want to add. Enter the localized text in the relevant fields and save or publish your entry.

Can I show or hide specific locales in the content editor?

Yes, you can toggle the visibility of locales using the eye icon in the localization section of the content entry sidebar. An open eye means the locale is shown; a closed eye means it is hidden. This only affects visibility, not the content itself.

#Localize content

#Overview

As an Editor, you might need to create content in different languages. Localization is supported as a core feature in Hygraph. A locale is a language you add for the content to be translated into. You will see them as spaces in your content entry where you can add a translation.

While as an Editor you don't have to configure any settings for localization, it's important to know that the languages available for you to use in the content editor depend on the project configuration. These locales can be both default and custom.

When configuring the schema, a field can be set as Localized field. This means each field can have an assigned localization which is part of field configuration, and not a duplication of that content. This basically means that you can work on localized content entries with "per field" granularity.

#Add a localization

Navigate to the content editor tab.
Select the view where you want to create a content entry.
Click on + Add entry in the upper right corner of the screen.
Add a locale by clicking on the + icon next to it. You can find the locales on the right sidebar.
Work on your entry.
Enter the localized text in the localized fields and complete the rest of your entry according to your task.
Select Save or Save & Publish depending on your workflow.

#Show or hide a locale

To work with localizations, look for the eye icon in the localization section of the content entry sidebar.

If the eye is closed, that means the locale is hidden.
If the eye is open, that means the locale is shown.

Click on the eye icon to toggle between shown and hidden.

Selecting and deselecting locales controls their visibility on the screen. If a locale already has content saved in it, selecting or deselecting it will not affect the content, only its visibility.
