Media translations offer a way to translate an existing media item for your website's country folders without the need to re-create the media item each time.
Within the media hub, you can see all the current translations by clicking on the "Media Items" tab on the left-hand menu and then observing the "Translations" column.
Against each media item, there is an indicator that shows whether translated content has been added for that item and which environment the translation has been published in.
- Red: Translation has been set up but is set to staging.
- Green: Translation has been set up and set to live.
- Black: Translation has not been set up.
Translating an Existing Media Item
To add a translation for an existing media item, click on the relevant country icon in the translations column.
This will open up a blank translation screen for your selected country alongside a copy of the original version, offering a side-by-side comparison whilst you translate.
Once you're ready to publish your translation, simply select the save button in the top right and choose either Staging or Live.
Adding a Media Item Exclusively to a Country Folder
There may be times when you want to publish a localised article, for example, if you're doing a blog about the 4th of July. Now, whilst that wouldn't be relevant to our UK site, it would be great for our US country folder.
To set up an article on a specific country site, simply choose your country folder from the row of tabs shown below:
Once you have selected your country folder, simply create a media item as you would normally, and once published, that article will appear exclusively on the selected country folder's site.
