Use the classic UI form#
This guide shows how to copy content to other languages with the @@copy-content-to form.
Install the add-on#
Add cs.linguacopier to your project's dependencies, then install the cs.linguacopier add-on from the Add-ons control panel.
Copy content#
Open the content object you want to copy.
From the toolbar, choose Copy language content.
The form opens. The Target languages list contains the supported languages of the site, except the content's own language.
Select one or more target languages.
Optionally uncheck Include context element? to copy only the subobjects, or Include the contents? to copy only the object itself.
At least one of the two must be selected.
Optionally tick Translate the copied content? to translate the text fields with the external translation service configured in the site, instead of copying them verbatim.
The original value is kept when nothing can translate it.
Choose Copy content.
Note
If the site has no other language configured, the form is hidden and a note is shown instead, because there is nothing to copy to.
Read the copy report#
After the copy, the form shows a report of the outcome.
A summary counts the items by status: created, updated, skipped, and failed.
A table lists one row per object and language, with its status and, for failures, the reason.
When translation was requested, the table also shows a Translation column with Translated, Partial, or Not translated, and the summary counts each translation outcome. This is a note, not a failure: a copy that kept some or all original values still succeeds.
Items are skipped when their content type is configured not to be copied, for example a language-independent LIF folder. Skipping is not an error.
Choose Export as CSV to download the report table as a CSV file that opens in a spreadsheet application such as Excel.
Note
A failure on one object does not abort the copy: the remaining objects are still copied, and every failure is listed in the report.
