Motivation
Currently all news posts have been added to the English locale in Prismic, which results in more entries on the
/news/
page. Instead we want to only show the English post on the list of articles and then allow the user to use a dropdown in the page header to select another language.How it works
Writer will create translations in Primis by selecting another language in the Prismic UI and using the same UID as the original article. This way in the site we have a page
/[locale]/news/[uid]
that will pull down the translated version of the article. By using language picker on the site the user will modify the[locale]
part of the url and get another version of the article from Prismic. If a translation is not available for a given post in a given language we will display a fallback message in that language with a link pointing back to original article.Changes
