Locale-scoped actions | Wicked CMS

On multi-locale Webflow sites, many actions in Wicked CMS ask whether to apply changes to the current locale only or all locales.

The locale scope dialog

When you create, duplicate, publish, queue, or delete an item on a multi-locale site, a dialog appears with two options:

Current locale only — apply the action to the locale you are currently viewing
All locales — apply the action to every locale configured on the site

The dialog title varies by action:

Action	Dialog title
Create	Create item in which locales?
Duplicate	Duplicate item in which locales?
Publish	Publish item in which locales?
Queue	Queue item in which locales?
Delete	Delete item from which locales?

Create and duplicate limitation

The create dialog warns:

You can not add an item to other locale later.

The duplicate dialog notes that locales without an existing version will use the current locale’s content.

Whether creating or duplicating, your locale choice is final: if you choose Current locale only, you cannot add that item to other locales later. Choose All locales if the item should exist in every locale from the start.

See Create a new item and Duplicate an item.

Publish, queue, and delete

For Publish an item, Queue for site publish, and delete:

Current locale only — apply the action to the active locale
All locales — apply the action across all locales simultaneously

For publish, queue, and delete, the locale-scope dialog only appears when the item already exists in more than one locale. If it exists in just one locale, the action applies there directly with no prompt.

Which locale is “current”

The current locale is the one selected in the LocaleSwitcher in the sidebar. Check the switcher before confirming locale-scoped actions.

Single-locale sites

On sites with only one locale, locale scope dialogs do not appear — actions apply to the single locale automatically.
