Indexing web content in a multilingual environment | HCL Digital Experience
Learn about the best practices for indexing web content if you are working with a multilingual Web Content Manager site.
For example, if you work in French and Italian languages in your Web Content Manager site,
consider the following recommendations:
- Organize your web content in language-specific libraries. Create one library per language, for example, one library for French and one library for Italian. You can specify the language when you create the library.
- Create language-specific search collections for the libraries you created. For example, create a search collection for your French library and a separate search collection for your Italian library. You can specify the language when you create the collection.
- For each search collection, create one content source for each content source type. For
example, for the French library search collection, create one content source for French
site content and one for French Portal site content. Similarly, create content sources for
your Italian library search collection as well.
- To create a content source for site content, in the Content source type field, specify WCM site. In the Collect documents linked from this URL field, enter the URL that refers to the language-specific library that you want to use. Ensure that the language of your library matches the language of the search collection.
- To create a content source for each of your supported portal site languages. In the Content source type field, specify Portal site. Add the content source to the search collection that you already created for the web content of the same language.
