Is there any way to ease the process of syncing the contents of original and translated page? I have created hand crafted content in German. Now, to translate it to Englisch, I see no other way then building the content once again without any copy & paste help whatsoever. This is obviously the worst possible option. Is there any other workflow that I do not see?
Thanks!

It supports automatically to duplicate existing modules what are built by BM content builder by click ‘+’ on Page list of admin(refer to the guide about using Polylang), then you need to edit the cloned page, edit the cloned modules to replace content with 2nd language.

What if I update a page in language 1 significantly and want to copy & paste the content to a second language and translate it? According to your workflow I would need to create another duplicate and delete the old one? That’ll be quite inconvenient.
June 8, 2022 at 1:41 am #27700Hi,
You can directly edit the translated pages also. If you update the original page, you can directly edit the page of 2nd language. it is not necessary to remove and duplicate it again.
And this is the working method of the mainstream multilingual plug-ins that I know so far. As template authors, we can only be compatible to them, but cannot affect their working methods such as processes.

Surely I can edit translated pages. But once a version of a page has significantly changes in one language needs to be updated in another, I must repeat all the steps of creating blocks, defining margins and can copy & paste the content of only one block after the other. With BM module I cannot copy the whole content between pages. With Gutenberg for example, I can copy all the code from the german version to the englisch one and just translate the text. I hope you’re getting the problem. How can I copy & paste all BM content between pages? I do not see this ability and am quite shocked, to be honest.
June 8, 2022 at 3:27 pm #27709Hi,
It is not possible to copy/paste codes on BM between pages. If a page has significantly changes, there are 2 ways:
– remove the 2nd language page, re-clone it by clicking ‘+’ on Page list
– save a template for the changed layout, edit the 2nd language and remove all mods. Insert the saved template
Regards!

June 9, 2022 at 2:02 am #27717HI,
Sorry. There is not the code copy&paste(between pages) plan for now.
Regards!
