Localization, also known as the numeronym i18n, is the technique of delivering content and formatting specific to different regions. For example, you'd use localization to deliver copy in the preferred language of a visitor to your site. With localization, you can curate what different target audiences experience when engaging with your Builder content.
With Builder, you choose from three ways to localize your content:
- Inline Localization at the field level. This is in the Visual Editor for Pages and Sections and in the Models section for Data models.
- Localizing a Whole Entry for the flexibility to deliver different copy, images, and even layout.
- Localizing Data Models to make sure your data is appropriate for the user's preferred locale.
- Integrating with a localization provider, such as Crowdin, Phrase, or Smartling.
To use Builder's localization features, you need to do the following:
- Add locales in Builder.
- Provide content to each locale. This can differ depending on if you're localizing at the field level or Localizing Whole Entries.
- Integrate with your codebase.
