Translation in the data record

1. If there is a news item in several languages, you should first enter the data record in all languages in the "General" tab: Select the languages individually at the top left under the "German" dropdown and save each one
2. Only create news in the languages that go online, i.e. not always in all languages.

3. Alternatively, in the list view outside the data record with the "Flag buttons".

Translation in content

New content elements are created in the "Content" tab.

1. Click on the "Create or edit content element" button. We get to the "Page content creation".

2. Switch from "Columns" to "Languages" so that all created languages are displayed next to each other (as before).

3. Once you have entered all content elements in German, translate them using the "Translate" button. Only translate into the language that goes online.
4. If you subsequently add content elements, you can also do this using the "Translate" button.
   Or directly in the respective content element by switching the language at the top. All languages in which this content element does not yet exist have the note "(new)" behind them

5. Here you can view the preview for each language or go back to the metadata tab at any time by clicking on "Edit data record".
