Multilingual Media for POIs

Created by Pooja Chitnis, Modified on Sun, 31 Mar at 5:16 PM by Pooja Chitnis

Multilingual media is handled a bit differently for points of interest. The reason for this is that some media items may be common and shared across languages, and others may need to be unique for each language (such as audio media). Driftscape fully supports both cases.

When you edit the media for a POI, you will see language options at the bottom:

This selector allows you to define the version of your POI (French or English) for which you would like the uploaded image or video to show up for. 

Note: The default has no language selected, which means the media item will show up in the gallery for every language version of the POI. If you select both languages, this will have the same effect, but we encourage you to not set those in that way, since new supported languages added in the future will be turned off by default.

The above displayed language selector does not automatically convert your captions. To change the language in your captions please ensure that you follow the process explained earlier. That is, switch your language version using the language selector located in the top right menu of the CMS and then edit the caption as per the selected language.
