XF 2.1 Language Inheritance Question

[Joe Link]

On our development site we have a global language, then a child language for each of our sites. Right now we export both the global language and the child language to each of our sites. If we export only the child language, will it inherit the changes made in the global language too, or do we need to continue running both the global and child language on each of our production sites?

 

[Joe Link]

Anyone?

In terms of execution, child languages would inherit any phrase changes from the parent unless they change that phrase themselves. But the export would only include customizations within the language itself.

If I understand exactly what you're asking, you probably do need to export/import both the parent (global) language and all the child languages. If you didn't export the parent language, you either wouldn't have those changes or they wouldn't necessarily be fully updated with wherever you're maintaining that language.

Great, thanks Mike!
