Internationalization in Symfony

Implement a basic field-level translation in a Symfony project.

Setup

Tip

Copy the reference space that includes the blocks and field schema described in this guide. Don't forget to update the access token.

Alternatively, open Settings → Internationalization → Languages and add Spanish (es).

1. In the article content type block, set the title and content fields as Translatable.
2. Open each article, select the Spanish language, and add translations to every field. You can also use AI Translations.

Note

Enable Storyblok's AI features, and use AI translations.

Add the language prefix

In the code editor, update the route configuration to support the language path.

config/routes/storyblok.yaml

resource: '@StoryblokBundle/config/routes/webhook.php'
storyblok_content_type:
resource: '@StoryblokBundle/config/routes/content_type.php'
    prefix:
        es: '/es'
        en: ''

The Symfony bundle automatically handles the multilingual routing and fetches the content that matches the locale prefix.

To configure the language in the controller logic or the templates, access the current locale using the request object.
