Fulfill Preconditions

Before you apply the type change, make sure you have fulfilled all preconditions mentioned in Section 4.7, “Preconditions for Comprehensive Changes” and Section 4.8.3, “Pitfalls and Glitches”.

After having carefully considered the implications of changing the site type, you can proceed with the actual change.

As you may guess from the previous sections and Example 4.14, “Translation Settings Struct” the central point for changing the type of the site is switching the name of the nested struct node of translationStrategies from SYNC to LANG_TRANSLATION or vice versa at Options/Settings/Translation within your site.

Implicitly Ignored Content Item

As the type-setting is only relevant for the very site it is located in, it is ignored by any localization workflows. Thus, you can perceive the change as local only and there is no need updating the type-setting in directly derived sites.
