Frequently Asked Questions
Localization Features & Capabilities
What is content localization in Hygraph and how does it work?
Content localization in Hygraph allows you to define multiple locales within a project and manage each translation easily within a single content model. Localizations can be managed both via the user interface or through GraphQL mutations. You can also set default and fallback languages for your content. For more details, see the Hygraph Localization Documentation and watch a demo.
Can I publish content independently for each locale in Hygraph?
Yes, Hygraph enables you to manage translations for content in one place and publish each locale independently. This means you can control when and how content is released for different languages or regions. Learn more about this feature in the Hygraph blog.
How does Hygraph handle locale-specific roles and permissions?
Hygraph allows you to create separate custom roles for each market, with each role having access only to content of a particular locale. This ensures that teams can manage content relevant to their region without accessing other locales. For setup details, see the roles and permissions documentation.
