How to deal with multiple languages

Asked by Arthur 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

While I was able to set up multiple languages and have Pages recognize it, I have found there is no tool to do the pages (Joola call it Article) associations. I could go and link article for each language from the two separate menus but when it comes to tens of hundreds articles/pages I see no way to do this.

I do not know if I am missing something but since I need to generate 200+ pages plus another 200+ in translated language, this seems to be a total pain on the ass. What is the method to do this ?
In Joomla it is super easy and convenient (through ASSOCIATIONS) module. In SPPB there is no even an option to BATCH ASSIGN language :-(

I wish somebody clarify this, please

Hi Arthur,

Multiple languages has nothing to do with SP Page Builder. You need to set up the Joomla 4 correctly so it has support for the languages you want to use, activate the language switcher with appropriate flags, build the menu system for the languages that should be activate and finally build the pages in SP Page Builder. If you have two (2) languages, build the the source language page first and associate that page with that language, then make a copy of that page and associate the copy with the next language to use and off course change the content on that page.

It is best to build all the pages first, and then associate them to the correct menu item, that will speed up the development process rapidly.

You could alway manipulate the SP Page Builder pages directly in the database with manual TSQL commands or write a procedure that do what you want to achieve, but then you should be familiar with SQL scripting and make sure that you alway have proper backup before you proceeed.

Hope this helps you on the way

Hi there!

Thanks for contacting us.

Which association has batch performance with Joomla core articles, please? If you could redirect me there I will check.

However, the following links may help:
