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: 
"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)
