}Octavia AI CMS allows you to create multilingual categories to organize your content effectively.
Each category can include names and descriptions in multiple languages using the standard multilingual format. Example:
Each category can include names and descriptions in multiple languages using the standard multilingual format. Example:
"name": {
"en": "Technology",
"es": "Tecnología",
...
}
Rules
- ✅ Keys must be lowercase ISO 639-1 codes (e.g.,
en,es,fr) - ✅ At least one language (your default locale) is required
- ✅ Values must be plain strings
- ❌ Do not send a single string for multilingual fields
- ❌ Do not use uppercase or invalid codes (e.g.,
EN,eng)
Validation & Behavior
- Slug must be unique within your workspace
- Name and description fields support multilingual format
- Thumbnail and isPrivate fields are optional
- Language fallback applies when fetching data (if a requested language doesn’t exist, the default is returned)
