# Locale-scoped actions

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 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.

> **Warning**
>
> 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](/create-new-item) and [Duplicate an item](/duplicate-item).

## Publish, queue, and delete

For [Publish an item](/publish-an-item), [Queue for site publish](/queue-for-site-publish), and delete:

* **Current locale only:** apply the action to the active locale
* **All locales:** apply the action to every locale at once

> **Note**
>
> 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](/switch-between-locales) in the sidebar. Check the switcher before confirming locale-scoped actions.

## Single-locale sites

On sites with one locale, locale scope dialogs do not appear. Actions apply to that locale automatically.
