Localize an Entry
Localizing an entry in Contentstack allows you to create independent versions of your content for different languages, breaking the inheritance from fallback languages.
To localize an entry, log in to your Contentstack account, and perform the following steps:
- Go to your stack and click the “Entries” icon in the left navigation panel or use the shortcut key “E” (for both Windows and Mac users).
- Locate and open the entry that you want to localize.
- Use the language dropdown in the top-right corner to select the language you want to localize the entry into.
This opens an unlocalized copy of the original entry, with content inherited from its fallback language.
- Replace the inherited content with the appropriate translations for the selected language, and click Save to create the localized version.
- Localizing an entry creates an independent version with its own versioning and publishing status.
- To automate content translation, refer to the Manage Content Translation guide.
