Problems with configuration for multilanguage content

[maria gensel]

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to configure multilanguage content. I used this documentation here: https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/6.2/Administration/Language/Language-configuration.html and did these steps:

- configuration of system languages

- enabling multilanguage authoring (in /config/server/i18n/authoring)

- enabling i18n content support (in /config/server/i18n/content)

- definition of locales in the site (adding i18n/locales/... to my site with class info.magnolia.cms.i18n.DefaultI18nContentSupport -> single tree)

- set i18n = true on content type properties

See my dummy-app.yaml

!content-type:dummy

name: dummy-app

label: Dummy

icon: icon-content-app

subApps:            

  detail:

    form:

      properties:

        name:

          i18n: true

        title:

          i18n: true

I get a language dropdown while editing websites but no one when I add same data from another workspace eg. in my dummy-app. I cant't figure out what's missing.

I am using Magnolia DX 6.2. 

Thanks a lot!

Maria

UPDATE: In conjunction with solving another language problem, a colleague found this documentation: https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/6.2/Developing/API/Delivery-API/Requesting-localized-content-with-the-delivery-endpoint.html

I had to configure locales for the fallback site or extend a site definition with locales. While editing structured content (not pages) the locales fo the fallback site will be used while showing the language toggle.

Really hard to find... but solved!

Cheers

Maria
