Multilingual publishing, static front end

Content / CMS platforms

A site in several languages turns every content change into a developer ticket, and an editor can’t see what’s about to go live until it is.

Named by what it does, not who it was for. The screens below are illustrations we drew — never customer software.

Our solution

Each piece of content holds every language together, with a switch per language, and publishing writes the page straight to the site, with no deploy and no database behind it.

How it works

4 steps, start to finish.

01

Draft in every language

A language becomes required only once it is switched on for that piece.

02

Preview it

The real page renders at a temporary address before it is published.

03

Publish without a deploy

A timestamped copy of the old version is kept, then the new page is written to the live site.

04

Quick updates

Short, frequent items use a simpler list per language, with the same draft-and-publish rhythm.
