In XperienCentral, you can maintain separate language versions of your web initative(s). This topic explains how the parallel language versions of content items behave and other considerations to keep in mind when configuring your web initiativechannel(s).

Note
title Notes
The language version functionality in XperienCentral is not present by default. You need to have a license for it. Contact your GX Software consultant if you want to maintain multiple language versions of your web ititiative(s). Beginning in XperienCentral version R27, it is possible to create and maintain language versions for all content items, not just pages and page sections.

...

The content items that are available to be shown in Dynamic Content Overviews and Content Overviews depend on the language of the content item on which the overview appears. If a web initiative channel has an English and a Dutch language version, then the content items that appear in an overview follow the language version of the content item on which they appear. For example, a Dynamic Content Overview appearing on an English language version of a page shows only content items that have an English language version. No content items that have only a Dutch language version will appear in the overview.

...

For each language that XperienCentral supports, you can enable and configure a fallback language. If there is no current content item version in the requested language then the version in the fallback language for the desired content item is shown. To enable the fallback language functionality, select "Use another language if language is not available" in Configuration > Channel Configuration > General tab. See Channel Configuration for more information.

...

• In order to determine the language version of an article, image, download or other custom content items, XperienCentral will retrieve the content item in the current language or use the fallback language. If the correct language version of a content item cannot be found, no link to it will appear (in content, Dynamic Content Overviews, etc.).
• The current page or another configured page will be used to show the content item, otherwise the "Display on" page will be used.
• If the correct page still cannot be determined, use the "Default Content Repository page" in the current language or use the fallback language version if applicable.
• If the correct page still cannot be determined, use the home page in the current language or use the fallback language version if applicable
• If the correct page still cannot be determined, show the title of the content item, however it will not be clickable.

For complete information on configuring a fallback language for a language, see Language Labels and the General tab of Channel Configuration.

Search Engine Optimization works for multiple language versions of website content in exactly the same way that it does for a website in a single language. See Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for complete information.
