Get Alternative Translations
Introduction
Getting alternative translations of an object is done by supplying the language
argument to a getObject
query.
If a language
is not supplied the default language will be used.
When getting an object's related objects there are various possible outcomes.
- A
language
argument can be supplied to the related object query to get that relationship in a specific language - If the
language
argument is not supplied to the related query, the language of the parent object will be attempted - If a translation of the related object does not exist in the parent language, the default language will be attempted
- Finally if all options above are not possible whatever translation is available for the related objects will be returned. This is an "all else fails" scenario to ensure a relationship is returned, but should be avoided as it will lead to inconsistent translation for users.
Note: If the language
argument is supplied to a relationship but that translation doesn't exist, steps 2-4 above will still be carried out.
