Best Practices
Proven approaches for cms localization success.
Content Model Planning
Design content models with localization in mind. Separate localizable from non-localizable fields.
Reference Handling
Decide: localize references or share globally? Products may differ, authors may not.
Slug Strategy
Localize URL slugs for SEO. /about vs /de/uber-uns. Configure CMS routing accordingly.
