Issue

Web Content Structure is incomplete when using the Web Content Translation Interface
After creating a Web Content with a multi-select field, the field is missing in when viewing the web content in the Translation Interface.

Environment

Liferay DXP 7.4
Liferay DXP Quarterly Releases

Resolution

this is considered expected behavior as the Translation Interface only supports Text, HTML, and numeric fields, so the multi-select list will not appear.
It is possible to complete this with a customization. To do this, you'd need to customize the portal to override TranslationInfoFieldChecker service and include all the field types you need. See the source code as a reference.
