Hello I have a page on my website that I created in english that utilized some components I’ve built out. These components have many props to set an image, title, some other text in the component. When I change the locale, those components are kept with the default content and don’t show the updated content I put in the english version. I unlinked the instances in the en version, but the other locales are still showing as instances. Not sure how to fix this without going through each local manually and editing all those components again.
Webflow is still doing some work with components and localization.
Currently I understand that when you localize a component, the content is localized and an entire “clone” of the component is made in the localized site.
The best approach to making a change then is to;
- Update your base language component
- Switch locale
- Revert the localization first ( click the globe and undo ), this will remove the “cloned, frozen-in-time” version of the component and give you the current component.
- Re-localize it.
Note there’s a difference between localizing the component itself, and localizing the component properties. The properties can be individually localized at the instance level where that makes sense. For Navs, Footers, etc, I usually localize the whole component.
