Localization Features & Capabilities

How does Hygraph support content localization?

Hygraph allows you to define multiple locales within a project and manage each translation within a single content model. Localizations can be managed both through the user interface and via GraphQL mutations. You can also set default and fallback languages for your content. For more details, see the Localization Documentation or watch a demo. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

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 the publishing workflow for each language version separately. Learn more in the Locale-Based Publishing blog post. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.

Does Hygraph support locale-specific roles and permissions?

Hygraph allows you to create separate custom roles for each market, with each role having access only to content for a particular locale. This enables granular access control for distributed teams. For setup details, see the Roles and Permissions Documentation. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics.
