Deriving a new localized site means that you create a copy of an existing site. The content, structure and appearance of the new site is exactly like that of its master. Afterwards, you can start the translation of the derived content.
In order to derive a site, do the following:
In the Favorites Toolbar open the menu and select . The sites window opens.
Select the site you want to derive from and click the Derive a new Localized Site icon. Alternatively you may use the context menu. A modal window opens up.
By default, the Locale field will be filled with the locale of the master site and will be marked red, because the locale has to be unique. Therefore, you have to choose a new locale first. Subsequently, new values for the URL segment and the site manager group will be calculated automatically using the selected locale.
The URL segment, which will be part of the URL that leads to this site, must also be unique. In the unlikely event that the calculated URL segment already exists, the field will be marked red and you have to insert a new value.
If the site manager group has not been created yet, the corresponding field will be marked red. Enter the name of an existing user group or create one for the calculated name using the Site Manager. See also Section 3.16, “User Administration” in CoreMedia Content Server Manual. When you want to use a new group that you have to create first, you have to restart the deriving process after you have created the group.
Click OK. The site will now be derived. This can take some time, depending on the size of your site.
If the site folder does not exist, yet, it will be created. Use the Site Manager to further adjust rights rules if desired.
You see the derived site as a subsite of the master site.
