So I have a field, where I can change the font color of some text on the hero image inside of Sitecore 8.1. Let's say you can choose between black and white. Now if I choose a color in the English version of the hero image, it is all working but if I add a german language version and there choose the color for the text, then there it is not working. I could figure out that this is because there is no german version of the black and white item which has the template Class Definition. So I tried to add the German version for this item and then it worked like expected and desired.

Next problem: I don't want to add the German version for all the items and in future do this for all the languages that are coming. Then I figured out that there is something like a language fallback and I tried it.

  • In the Sitecore.LanguageFallback.config I changed this values to true enter image description here

  • Then I set the Fallback Language of the german language item to English enter image description here

  • And finally, I checked the Enable Item Fallback in the standard_values of the class definition item enter image description here
  • Now the black and the white versions are looking like this enter image description here

But the color switcher is still not working. What else can I try to make this work?

  • I see "English" as fallback language in your screen shot. So is this your custom language because all predefined languages in Sitecore will be having language code. I guess the fallback language field is a drop down and let you choose an existing language. How you have "English" instead of "en", have renamed any predefined language item(s).?

  • And yes the language item is renamed. But only the display name not the item name. Is this a problem?

  • Is your site name is "website" in Site definition?

  • The name of my site was not "website" in the SiteDefinition. The problem is solved now because I changed the "website" to the real name of the site.
