Translation of related content

Some posts have relations to other content, such as other posts, series and such.

These are connected using a multiselect field with searching capability:

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you translate an article/post which has related content, it is possible that your localization will NOT HAVE all the related content translated into your language. Therefor this related content is shown in your language as empty as seen in the following image:

These empty lines cannot be removed.

It is important to note that we differentiate between master localizations and other localizations. Please read the article about the differences to understand further references to master/other localizations.

The related content will keep these empty connections (as seen in the previous images) until you translate all of the connected posts.

Once one of the posts is translated, it will show up in the selection. When it shows up, it is possible to remove the connection if desired. This will not remove it from other localizations, but it will disconnect synchronization of connection to this post in the future. This process is further described below in the usage scenarios.

Following examples define how the connection works when it is adjusted either from the master localization or other localizations.

Lets consider a case, where we have Article EN-1, Article EN-2, Article EN-3 and Article EN-4.

Two articles had been localized into Serbian as Article SR-1 and Article SR-3.

Article EN-1 has a relation to Article EN-2, Article EN-3 and Article EN-4

The current status of the related content is shown in the following table:

Article EN-1 is newly connected to 2 more articles: Article EN-5 and Article EN-6. Article EN-6 has existing localization in Serbian language as Article SR-6.

Status:

Then we decide to remove Article EN-3 and Article EN-4 from the connection

Status:

Serbian localization decides to translate Article EN-2 as Article SR-2

Status:

Serbian localization creates new Article that only exists in their localization called Article SR-ONLY and add it to connection. They also want to add Article SR-3 back, even though the master language removed it.

Status:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Because the Serbian connections now become customized, they are partially disconnected from master localizations. Because Serbian version now added Article SR-3 as their choice, adding or removing Article EN-3 in the master localization will no longer have any effect.

Serbian localization decides to remove one of the articles they have translated: Article SR-6.

Status:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Just as with the previous case, where Serbian localization added articles, ARTICLE SR-6 now also becomes customized. This means that any changes in master localization to Article EN-6 will no longer have any effect on Article SR-6.
