An update on multi-language blog (available in beta to everyone who has Blog)
Here’s the current status of specific features:
Included at this time:
- Posts can be grouped and hreflang tags are included
- Blog settings (including header, page title, meta description, root URL) can be set for each language
- Global content can be set to different languages using global content editing
- The language switcher module can be added to your template and works for blog posts
- Blog subscriptions can be managed for each language of the blog
- Language switcher module works on the blog listing page (since July 29, 2020)
- Multi-language Authors (available to all as of August 12, 2020)
- Multi-language tags (currently “rolling out”; becoming available to more portals every day. Expected to be available to all on August 20th)
Still to come:
- Ability to group existing posts from other blogs (this will let users who have ‘separate’ blogs for their different languages combine their existing posts)
- Option to have different templates for each blog language
- Option to set different comment settings for each language, and different social share settings
- Ability to import into a multi-language blog (it will probably be a few more months before work can begin on this one)
