Multi-Language

Working with Multiple Languages

Using an intuitive and simple to manage UI, Canvasflow allows you to work with multiple language versions of your content, while maintaining a single version of the article (from a layout perspective).  This means you are free to edit the text content of articles to reflect the appropriate language while ensuring the assets and layout remain consistent across all versions.

Notes

  1. Multi language publishing is currently only supported by the ‘PWA’ and ‘WebPublish’ publish channels.

Adding Additional Languages

  1. Navigate to the 'Brand Manager'.

  2. Click the Settings button which drops down when hovering over your chosen publication.

  3. Select the Languages tab.
  4. You will see which languages are already enabled for the publication and which existing connectors are using them as default languages.
  5. To add a new language check the appropriate box(es).
  6. Click Save to enable the selected languages .

Switching Between Languages

When working with multiple languages, it’s simple to quickly switch between them. There are two ways to do this.

Switching from the Article Manager:

  1. Navigate to the ‘Article Manager’.
  2. Click the Language Menu to display the available languages.

  3. Select the language you want to switch to.


  4. The Article Manager will now show only the selected language versions.

Notes

  1. When translating articles manually, you may see * (Asterisks) next to the titles for articles in a translated language. This indicates that while the content of an article may have been translated, the title has not and is still using its original title. You can manually translate the title by clicking Edit Details.

Switching from the Article Builder:

  1. From the 'Article Builder' open an article.

  2. From the navigation toolbar, select the country flag. This list will show all the enabled languages. 


  3. Select the language you wish to switch to.
  4. The article will switch to the selected language.

Notes

  1. It is possible to quickly switch between multiple language versions of articles using this technique.
  2. Remember, all assets and layouts remain consistent. You are just managing the content separately.
