Issue

  • We want to limit the languages displayed in the translation selector for object fields to only those defined in the site, similar to how it works for Journal Articles.
  • Currently, the selector shows all languages available in the environment.

Environment

  • DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • Limit the languages displayed in the translation selector for object fields can likely be achieved through instance-level configuration. 
  • Navigate to *Control Panel* > *Instance Settings* > *PLATFORM - Localization* > *VIRTUAL INSTANCE SCOPE* > *Language*. 
  • Here, move the desired languages from the 'Available Languages' list to the 'Current Languages' list using the provided arrow buttons.
  • This configuration restricts the language options presented to only those selected for the instance.
