Kaliber Sanity Multi Language Plugin

Document level translations.

Installation

> yarn add @kaliber/sanity-plugin-multi-language

Usage

sanity.config.js

import { addFields as addMultiLanguageFields } from '@kaliber/sanity-plugin-multi-language'

defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    deskTool({
      defaultDocumentNode: (S, context) => {
        const getClient = context.getClient.bind(context)

        const views = [
          S.view.form(),
          typeHasLanguage(context) && S.view
            .component(Translations)
            .options({ multiLanguage, reportError })
            .title('Translations'),

        ].filter(Boolean)

        return S.document().views(views)
      }
    }),
  ],
  schema: {
      types: (prev, context) => prev
        .concat(schemaTypes)
        .map(addMultiLanguageFields({ multiLanguage: clientConfig.multiLanguage, reportError })),
    },
})

schema/documents/page.js

export const page = {
  type: 'document',
  name: 'page',
  title: 'Page',
  options: {
    kaliber: {
      multiLanguage: true,
      ...
    },
    ...
  },
  ...
}

Custom Document ID Generator

By default, new translations are created with a random UUID (drafts.{uuid}). You can customize this behavior by providing a multiLanguageNewDocumentId function in your schema options:

export const page = {
  type: 'document',
  name: 'page',
  title: 'Page',
  options: {
    kaliber: {
      multiLanguage: true,
      multiLanguageNewDocumentId: ({ currentId, currentLanguage, newLanguage }) => {
        // Example: Replace language code in the document ID
        return currentId.replace(currentLanguage, newLanguage)
      }
    }
  },
  ...
}

Parameters:

• currentId - The ID of the source document
• currentLanguage - The language code of the source document
• newLanguage - The language code for the new translation

Returns: A string to be used as the new document ID

This is useful when you want predictable IDs based on language codes, making it easier to find related translations programmatically.
