In what way does Sitecore handle multilingual content?

Sitecore manages multilingual content effectively through language versions and translation management features. This approach allows content authors to create separate versions of content items for each language, ensuring that the content is tailored for specific audiences. Each language version can be edited independently, which is crucial for maintaining the nuances and cultural relevance of the message.

Additionally, Sitecore provides built-in tools for translation management, allowing teams to streamline the process of translating content. This includes features for tracking which items need translation and providing a clear workflow for editors and translators. With these features, teams can ensure consistency across different languages while also leveraging Sitecore's capabilities to deliver personalized content experiences.

In contrast, creating duplicate content items would lead to redundancy and complicate content management. While generated language fallbacks and external translation services have their places, they do not encompass the comprehensive handling of multilingual content as effectively as Sitecore's approach with language versions and translation management.
