One article with several translations, not several articles. That distinction shapes everything about maintaining them.
How it works
An article has a source language and translations. They share one identity, one place in the structure, and one address.
A reader sees the version in their language, and a link without a locale in it takes them to their own automatically.
What that gives you
- Links keep working across languages. One link serves every reader.
- Structure is shared. Categories and sections are translated, not duplicated.
- You can see what is missing. Untranslated articles are visible as such.
What happens without a translation
A reader in that language does not find the article at all. It is invisible in their search rather than shown in another language.
That matters when deciding what to translate: a half-translated help centre is a nearly empty one for anybody in the second language.
Translate the most-read first
Rather than working through alphabetically or by section. Twenty translated articles covering your most common questions serve a Dutch reader better than a hundred covering everything except what they need.
Keeping them in step
Editing the source does not update the translations, and nothing marks them as stale by default. Article verification is how you catch translations that no longer match.
