Localization workflows shouldn’t be complex, why settle for:

  • Managing a single language variant (de) when you need region-specific content like de-DE, de-CH, and de-AT

  • Creating duplicate entries per language instead of managing content in one structured entry

  • Disconnected translation workflows that delay publishing cycles

  • Waiting for all translations to finish when you could publish per locale
