Layouts: keep layout structure across multi languages#234

S

Currently when creating a multi language page, the layouts are not duplicated. This means, if you created some extensive content inside a layout for language A, maybe the layouts also including some special settings, etc, all this gets lost when you switch languages and try to input the content for the second language. that is a pitty, because you need to recreate the whole layout again by hand, including settings, etc. It would be great if the layouts field just gets copied like all other input fields for the new language and you only have to change the actual content, but all settings and columns etc are still there

I agree, syncing content of multilanguage websites with blocks (and even structures) is a pain and I think most multi-language websites run into this issue, as a translation is mostly a variation of the same content structure. In production context, this leads to many content not being translated and simply forgotten in translations.

#254 will facilitate manual synchronisation but there should be an option to always keep the blocks, layouts and structures in sync with other languages.

Yes please 🙏

To both the mentioned structure and blocks.
And maybe also support translate: false on certain fields in a structure? 👀
