Create a CMS Items with localisation

Design help Data API
1

Hi,

i am creating a lot of collection items and our default language is english. But i also want to add the translation for the collection item. When i POST 2 collection items with the same slug but a different cmsLocaleId, it does not work. I get two different collection items. When i try to patch the same collection item with a different cmsLocaleId i get a 404.

This is the end-result which i want to achieve. One collection item but with 2 locals.

I am using the beta api.

Any hints how that should work?

Iā€™m facing the exact same problem
As you. It seems it might be something they have overseen. Hopefully this gets addressed soon.

I have the same issue as well. Any V2 Documentation about creating Items with different locale?

I recently got in contact with support, they are aware of the issue not news on a solution on the horizon.

Thanks for posting, Iā€™am having a similar issue. Even trying to post the translated item as another item_id, but returns a 400 (Field ā€˜cmsLocaleIdā€™: Field not described in schema)

the payload Iā€™m using is below. Not sure whatā€™s wrong with the request:

{
ā€œfieldsā€:{
ā€œnameā€:ā€œPost via APIā€,
ā€œslugā€:ā€œpost-via-apiā€,
ā€œcmsLocaleIdā€:ā€œ{cmsLocaleId}ā€,
ā€œ_archivedā€: false,
ā€œ_draftā€: false,
}
}

Same problem here, I am trying to create a CMS item with the same item id but 3 different locales which means 3 cmsLocaleId

Did anyone figure out a solution?

Hello fellows!

I came with good news! Webflow just added this POST method to API v2 that supports creating CMS items with different locales.

you can check it here: [Create item for multiple locales]
