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.

Get Alternative Translations Of An Object's Relationships

This example shows getting an episode in English (en-GB) and the brands related to that episode in German (de-DE).

query getEpisode {
  getEpisode(
      uid: "0b81a0d5-67d1-4ada-8577-9dd6b6e139c1", 
      language: "en-GB"
  ) {
    uid
    title
    brands(language: "de-DE") {
      objects {
        title
        synopsis
      }
    }
  }
}
