Get Localized Entries

When managing multilingual content, it is important to differentiate between localized entries and those displayed due to fallback language settings.

Contentstack enables users to filter and view entries localized in the selected language, enhancing both the accuracy and efficiency of localization workflows.

NoteBy default, the entries list displays only localized entries for the selected language because the Show localized only toggle is enabled. If you disable the toggle, the list displays both localized entries and their fallback content. To view entries across all available languages, select All Languages from the language filter.

1. Navigate to your stack and click the “Entries” icon in the left navigation panel or use the shortcut key “E” (for both Windows and Mac users).
2. Access the Language filter using one of the following methods:
   • Click the Filters tab in the left panel and select the Languages filter dropdown.

     Note If this option isn’t visible, click Manage Filters at the bottom of the panel and enable the Language filter.

   • Alternatively, click the “Filter” icon in the Language column.

     Note If the Language column isn’t visible, enable it from Table Settings.

3. Filter the localized content using one of the following methods:
   • In the Language dropdown, select the desired language.
   • In the Localized in dropdown (located within the same menu), select the same language again.

     For example: To view localized entries in Chinese, select “Chinese” as the language and select “Chinese” again in the Localized in dropdown.

Note The language filter setting is saved automatically and remains active until changed.
