I need more information on how to manage content in multilingual dynamic content. When having a content in All lanuages I cannot duplicate the excisiting items at all... Is it really required to do each item again separatelly in each language (7 languages) for each language? Aren't there any shortcuts?

Hi there!

Thanks for reaching out.

If a dynamic content item is assigned to "All Languages", Joomla treats it as a shared/global item, so it cannot be duplicated into language-specific versions directly.

For multilingual sites, the recommended approach is to create separate items for each language and assign the appropriate language to each one. Unfortunately, there is no built-in shortcut that automatically creates all 7 translated versions at once.

However, you do not need to recreate everything from scratch manually each time. A quicker workflow would be:

  • Duplicate the original item
  • Change the Language field for the duplicated copy
  • Translate only the text/content parts
  • Repeat for the remaining languages

This is still much faster than rebuilding every item from scratch.

Also, if you are managing a large amount of multilingual content, you may consider using Joomla Associations so related items across languages stay connected.

Best regards,
