AEM | Multisite setup approaches

Setting a new language site

For multi-site requirement, creating a new language site should be done using following steps:

1.      Create a new language master

For any language site, the base should be a language master. Remember the standard rule- “One master per language”. If the master language already exist then use that only, skip this step. All master languages should be created under “/content/mysite/language-masters”. E.g. for all English sites (en_us, en_uk etc.) the base should be English master (/content/mysite/language-masters/en).

              To create a new language master use the language copy option.

a.       Go to /sites.html/content/mysite/language-masters

b.       Click on Create -> Language Copy

c.       In the next screen, Click “Add Pages”  then select “/content/mysite/language-masters/en” as source (You can select any other existing language as per need)

d.       In next screen, select target language (for which you are creating master) and fill in other details

e.       Next select “Create Structure” and Click on “Create”, done.

f.        Now you can see that your language master is created:
