- Go to the authoring portlet and update the Configuration settings to add the "ML Configuration" library to the list of selected libraries.
- Create multilingual configuration file for each set of localized
or regionalized libraries.
- For each library referenced in each multilingual configuration
file, create a link component directly under the Components folder
that references the multilingual configuration file:
- For references to a localized multilingual configuration file, the link component name must be MLConfFileReference.

you can choose to have portal page mappings added automatically as
new translations are created. This option requires the document that
is being copied or linked from to have an existing portal page mapping:
- Open a multilingual configuration file from the "ML Configuration" library.
- Add updateContentMappings=true to the General Settings.
-
Enable syndication for the "ML Configuration" library.
Note: The multilingual solution must be installed on both the syndicator and subscriber before syndication can be enabled.
