RaisinDB Translations

How Translations Work

RaisinDB uses a file-overlay system for multi-language content:

• Base content lives in .node.yaml and serves as the default language (typically English).
• Translation overlays live in .node.{locale}.yaml files alongside the base file (e.g., .node.fr.yaml, .node.de.yaml).
• Only fields marked translatable: true in their archetype or element type definition appear in translation files.
• At query time, the server merges the base content with the requested locale's overlay.

content/launchpad/home/
  .node.yaml        # Base (English)
  .node.fr.yaml     # French overlay
  .node.de.yaml     # German overlay
