Multilingual Default

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

Can it be that the field does not translate the default value? I tried both of them and got ‘Array’:

foo:
  type: text 
  default: 
    de: 'Standart-Text'
    en: 'default text'

and…

foo:
  type: text 
  default: path.to.my.translation

Those blueprint language key strings are only intended for displaying strings in the Panel, you cannot set a value per language.

Note that a default is only set on page creation and that pages are always created in the default language.

But it works with the label-properties:

  foo:
    label:
      de: 'Der Titel'
      en: 'The Label'
    type: text

Same with the language key.
On page creation, there where also be different languages.

Yes, because a label is something that is displayed in the Panel depending on the selected user language.

That makes sense indeed. :face_with_monocle:
If you create a new page and generate a translated page, the default-value will be already set. :man_facepalming:

Using the placeholder-property is a good alternative:

foo:
  type: text 
  placeholder: 
    de: Eine Empfehlung für dich
    en: A recommendation for you
